Summary: The Time Machine by HG Wells
Comment: The Time Machine is one of the most imaginative works to be
created in late 19th century England. The work is well written. The author integrates theoretical physics with
literary themes to create a challenging scenario well into the
far future of existence on planet earth. When the book was first
written, the notion of time travel was pure fantasy. Today,time
travel is occupying more space in the Scientific American and
other respected bastions in the world of science and mathematics.
This is a model book for students in regards to sentence
structure, advanced vocabulary, writing elegance and
the use of standard english to communicate novel ideas.
The author takes us into the far future and back by utilizing
a yet uninvented time machine to traverse the time dimension
which is beginning to be understood in reference to the
elliptical path of comets. The futuristic half-human and
half-beast life forms stretch the imagination; however,
this should be encouraged for young readers in particular.
The work helps to develop visual and nonlinear ways of
looking at things. It is highly recommended for students
in early high school and beyond. This work helps to reinforce
sentence structure and advanced vocabulary usage and
formulation. H.G. Wells, Nostradamos and Leonardo DaVinci
all spoke of yet uninvented instrumentalities that would come
into being at some time during the 500 or so years following
their lives on this earth.

Summary: Truly a Classic!
Comment: OK, we've all seen at least one of the movie versions of H.G. Well's The Time Machine, but none of them truly compare with the oringinal Sci-Fi classic. The book tells the story of the Time Traveler's journey nearly a million years into the future and the very unexpected and disturbing society he finds there. The Time Traveler formulates various theories based on what he observes of the society, which each, in turn, prove to be oh, so wrong! [Warning: mild spoiler] In the end, his realization of the future is especially terrifying considering it is the result of our current social structure (or H.G. Well's, anyway).
I especially recommend this book for those of us with short attention spans - it's only 140 pages (and that's the large print version). But don't get the wrong idea, this book still has more depth and creativity than most 500 page books i've read and is a great read, even compared with today's science fiction standards.
This book has to be considered a classic considering it spawned a whole genre of time traveling books, movies, and tv shows whcih imitated it. Get a hold of a copy and read it today!

Summary: not bad
Comment: well im writing this review for a physics project that i have to do. Well overall i thought the book was pretty exciting. Alot of details were given and the book kept u thinking even at the end when the traveler disapears and never returns. I thought the ending was pretty cook since i would never expect an ending like that. THe book has action, and lots of details. Some parts were hard to understand because of the wierd names that the travler gives but overall the book wasnt bad.
