Alien Voices: Time Machine (Cd) (Alien Voices)

Summary: a dated but still an enjoyable classic..
Review: Written in 1895, 'The Time Machine' has a very dated, musty aspect to it. It's naive and far from realistic. But even if one discounts the over-simplicity of the story it is hard not to get caught into the strange, distant future world (greater London to be exact) created by H. G. Wells. His vision has been copied and arguably improved upon over the past century. However even now the story enthralls. And the compactness of the narrative, in a book scarcely over 100 pages, is remarkable.


Bottom line: yes, it is the sort of science fiction of your great-grandfather's generation. Thankfully it is still worth reading.
