"Finally got around to this one, and very glad I did. Prompted immediate acquisition of additional works by Wells, I so thoroughly enjoyed it. Fast read. " — Carolyn (4 out of 5 stars)
"Finally got around to this one, and very glad I did. Prompted immediate acquisition of additional works by Wells, I so thoroughly enjoyed it. Fast read. "
" Some great stories by the heavyweights of 20th century sci-fi. Highlights include H.G. Wells' The Door in the Wall, Frank Herbert's The Missing Link, and James Schmitz's The Winds of Time. Andre Norton's All Cats are Grey is the most obviously dated, yet still so much fun. "
" A really nice collection of stories, only one of which I'd read before. Good SF in the, as advertised, classic genre. "
" Most of this is dated nostalgia reading. "
" An interesting read though perhaps Wells' vision of the future is somewhat dated as our society moves farther away from the manufacturing of the Industrial age and more to the service and computers of the Information Age. "
" Enjoyed this one alot, going to have the watch the movie too. "
" Love the constant allegory of the destruction that mankind brought about on itself, and the terrible wrath that it played out on us through the ages. "
" The most unique view into mankind's history I've ever read. "
" I am reading it, I am enjoying it, this is my first HG Wells read. The language is antiquated, it might bother some, but it is interesting enough that I have downloaded War of the Worlds to also read. "
" A fast but interesting read "
" Where would Sci-Fi be without this book! "
" I read and honestly I was not able to visualise all that he wrote whatever i was able to for that I am happy that i read this one "
" Good, but a little too wordy... still good though! "
" I liked the anthropological tone of the narrator describing the future races. It's definitely a product of the 1800's and was very similar to the ethnologies of the time. "
" I did 4 book reports on this in elementary school, and I hated this book. "
H. G. Wells (1866–1946), born in Bromley, Kent, England, is known as the father of science fiction. He was also a prolific writer in other genres, including contemporary novels, history, and social commentary.
