Summary: The Time Machine?!
Comment: If you were to build a time machine where would you go? In the story, THE TIME MACHINE, the time traveller goes into the future to see what the human's outcome is. Instead of finding a sophisticated human race, he found Eloi and the vicious Morlocks who ruled over them. The Morlocks steal the time machine and after many quarrels and fights with them he manages to retrieve his Time Machine once again. He travels back to his time only to be dissapointed that none of his friends believe his incredible journey. The last anyone saw of the Time Traveller was when he jumped into his time machine and vanished. That was years ago now and no one has seen him since. Did the Time Traveller go into the past or back to the future? No one knows for sure.

Summary: Seen better
Comment: The time machine does a good job atracting people to it. The cover and the well written summery really brought me in. The begining really intriged me. I loved the descriptive detail the author gave, especially the part where the Time Traveler speeds through time. Once he stops in the future, is where I think the book could have been a lot better. My expectations are probably higher than most after reading the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The reson I scored so low because I have seen a lot better.

Summary: The Time Machine
Comment: The Time Machine was an entertaining book about time traveling. I thought it was interesting for a few reasons. First of all, everyone has their own ideas about time travel and what the future might be like. Through H. G. Wells' story, he incorporates his personal theories about the future. Furthermore, the conflict between the Morlocks and the Time Traveler keeps you at the edge of your seat because you don't know if the Time Traveler will make it back to the present time. Also, The Time Machine is very descriptive. From the delicate flowers to the grungy wells of the Morlocks, the author does a wonderful job explaining the strange, futuristic world. At times, I felt like I was in the story, because the descriptions were so detailed. The Time Machine was a great book, and I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in time traveling or about the future.
