Rating: Summary: not bad Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: time travel Review: If anyone is interested in a story about time travel, I would definitly recommend this book The Time Travel. It has its ups and downs, but H.G. Wells has an amazing imagination and as I read each chapter, I eagerly anticipated the new things he would introduce about the future. This book really made me think about the possibilies of time travel and how it all works. After reading this book I am interested to find out more about the science of time travel and its possibilities. I am really not a fan of books in general but i would recommened this book to anyone who has a big imagination and who is interested in time travel.
Rating: Summary: The Time Machine?! Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: Seen better Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: The Time Machine Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: The Time Machine Review: Although some people may disagree, The Time Machine is a wonderful fictitious novel. One thing that makes it great is the imagination. In the story the author gives a descriptive picture of what he thinks life will be like in the future. One man builds a time machine and is able to travel in many different dimensions. While he travels, things move quickly and can be witnessed in the blink of an eye. He sees the sun and moon rotate in seconds, he goes through different eras and wars, and eventually ends up in a completely different world. It is full life and will keep anyone reading until the end. Another reason the book is good, is the suspense. For example, when the time traveller first meets two groups of people called the eloi and the morlocks, he is very confused. He later finds out that the morlocks feed and clothe the eloi only to be able to hunt, kill, and eat them later. The time traveller wants to help the eloi and decides to try to fight the morlocks leaving the reader wondering what is going to come next. It is very exciting. Altogether the book is an interesting way to view H. G. Wells point of view of the future, and a good way to spend an afternoon reading.
Rating: Summary: A very goooood book! March, 1 2004 Review: This book was very hard to understand. Some of the chapters were quite confusing. It is a very good book to read if this is the type of stories that you're into. It's not to long so it won't take up to much of your time to read it. I recogmend this book to everyone who comes across it. I hope you take the time to read this marvelous book.
Rating: Summary: Okizzile Review: I thought the Book was enertaing and fun. It is a little far out for my taste. I think the charecters can use some sharpeing. I think there should have been more develepment between the charecters. I think this a perfect book for the sci-phy thrillers.I hope my review gets out. Roger
Rating: Summary: An uninteresting book! Review: I found this book hard to read. Not only were the words difficult to understand, but also it was so boring and slow that it was hard to pay attention to what I was reading. I enjoy books that are realistic fiction. The Time Machine was so impossible that it was hard to read it without laughing. The romance was very weak and the suspicion was nonexistent. I found this book a waste of time to read. If we really could travel in time I would go back and never have read this book. The characters are truly shallow and have very little emotion. The climax was weak, but the story line was even worse. I would never recommend The Time Machine to anyone!
Rating: Summary: A Suspenseful and Gripping Story Review: The Time Machine, by H.G. Wells, begins on fascinating note when the Time Traveler tells his friends that he has actually built a Time Machine. They do not believe the Time Traveler, and then, one day, he isn't present at a dinner engagement with his friends. Halfway through dinner, the Time Traveler appears, bedraggled, but with a colorful story of his travels into the future; the changes in the whole world and even the people in it. Somewhere in the future, he loses the machine, but to find out how he gets it back, and what else he sees in the far future, you must read it yourself!
