The Time Machine Audiobook

" I love any story involving time travel, so obviously I enjoyed this book. Plus come on, it's a classic. "

" Wells is a fabulous writer. The story feels a little dated, but it's still a wonderful read just because of his skill at storytelling. "

" Read it initially for my first MA and now it's a paired text with Niftyknicker's rubbish. Easy to digest novella, although it's hard to get the old film out of the head when Wells describes the actual journey into time. Nice way to spend a Monday morning. Heaps better than the coarse tosh of Niffenegger. "

" This was interesting as an early example of science fiction, but I can't say it was wholly engrossing. I thought it strange that the time traveler spent so much time amongst the Eloi and the Morlocks but that he merely flitted about the other times he visited. Why bother with the other stops at all? They seemed tacked on and rushed through. Even so, the book was interesting from a literary history perspective. "

" Would've given it five stars if H.G. Wells wasn't such a racist. "

" A brilliant plot , set amidst the fact which the author is trying to highlight that is the difference between the working class and high class people . the time machine stole by the Morlocks they explore the landscape of London and bring about interesting revelations. "

" A great novel. beautifully written. and as far as I can tell, very much, ahead of its time. "

" I'm sure I must have read this book before, but I decided to read it in preparation for reading K.W. Jeter's Morlock Night. I have to admit, I remembered very little of the book, so it's good I read it before reading Morlock Night. I quite enjoyed it this time around, though. "

" nice imagination...a vision of future.. "

" One of the originators and still good. "

" The book is great, a nice social commentary. But this audio version, read by Alan Munroe, is to be avoided. His voice is flat and he pauses every other word as if the sentence needs to catch its breath "

" I think what saved this one was the ending. It was definitely sci-fi-y (a genre I find a bit hard to read) but it was an interesting read about time travel and provided an alternate view as to where human technological advancement would lead us. "

" GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS ...one of the best books I have ever read soooooo gripping and I think most of H.G wells assumptions about the future are true NOW "

" one of the greatest books I will ever read. very Short but it is truely a work of art. "

" The end times are surreal and creepy. "

" A fascinating vision of the future... "

" I really enjoyed this novel. Love HG's writing style. I would read anything he wrote just because of that but the story has a particular story line that really makes you think. I love his interpretation of what the future might bring... Read it! "

" Enjoyable book, though very short. It is interesting to compare the originals of these classic Sci Fi books to the various film imaginings. "

" wells is a great writer and i enjoyed it "

" I like these Campfire graphic novels because I can get these classic stories read in under an hour AND have pictures to accompany it! "

" Interesting concept--time travel but I can see why the screenwriters who wrote scrips for the movie versions changed the story line. There was a lot that could have been explored that wasn't and too much time spent on details that didn't add anything to the story. "

" Very interesting short read. An exciting story that not only plays with the idea of time travel but offers a commentary on the industrial revolution and its implications for humanity. "

" Pretty good for a free e-book. Interesting perspective on what our world will look like thousands of years into the future. "

" This old science fiction novel doesn't hold up too well & seems somewhat dated today, but probably was innovative & fresh in its day. "

" I picked up a nice 1931 Random House copy with some great art deco illustrations by W.A. Dwiggins, the book of course, is a classic. "

" Nice style, a little iffy on the plot. 3.5/5 "

" 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! "

" 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. "

" 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. "
