Rating: Summary: a look at humanity's future through the eyes of a time trave Review: ler. The time machine takes an interesting look at human society in the distant future. The time traveler witnesses the unbelievable social stratification of humanity into two groups. One living underground and the other up on the earth's surface during the day. I liked this book and after I finished reading it ,it left a profound feeling in my heart.
Rating: Summary: Have the TIME of Your Life! Review: The Time Machine by H.G. Wells is a sci-fi story about the Time Traveler going into the future. My opinion about it is that it is excellent. Some of the characters are the Medical Man, the Editor, the Psychologist and more. This book takes place mostly in the future. When the Time Traveler goes into the future, his time machine is stolen by the Morlocks. Can the Time Traveler get his time machine back, stay in one piece, and get back to where he lives? I'm not going to tell the ending because that would give it away and take the fun out of reading it.

Rating: Summary: Time for Social Study Review: Sci-Fi may be the genre, but as with most great liturature the true scope of this work is a simplified description of the more insidious (and puzzling) methods of society. The resonance of this story is the eye opening cut-and-dried behaviour of the futuristic society we visit. Eye opening because it's such an obvious and timeless description of class struggle. This story is excellent old school sci-fi, and top notch social commentary. H.G. Wells' mind still packs a punch after all these years.
Rating: Summary: The Time Machine Review: This book is a wonderful science fiction book. This book takes place in the late 1800's. It's about a man that discovers methods of time travel. He explains the scientific schematics to his invention to a few of his English buddies. His friends are somewhat skeptical of his ideas. He tells a descriptive story about his journey through time.I give this book 4 stars for action, drama and suspense.
Rating: Summary: Mr. Garden says "hi." Review: This book was okay. Read it carefully and try to understand it. Just try the first 20 pages and see if you like it. It's about a time traveller who goes in the future and the society isn't smart and advanced as you'd think. 5165846518

Rating: Summary: Future Shock Review: This was the first book I read by HG Wells, at the age of 12. (I saw the film first.) After taking a trip into the future, a Time Traveller returns to the 19th century and tells his colleagues what he saw. In the distant future there is nothing, not a trace, of our world left. The Time Travller discovers a new society and finds that we have evolved into a puny, ineffectual race called Eloi. At night he discovers the other half of the society, the hideous, carniverous Morlocks. The Eloi live simple lives and play in the sun. They are food for the Morlocks, who live underground, operating machinery. The Time Traveller goes even further into the future, to a depressing world where the sun is dying and monstrous creatures roam the surface. Getting away from the point for a moment, there was once a "Doctor Who" story called "Timelash". In that story the Doctor travels back in time and meets a young writer called Herbert, who accompanies the Doctor on a journey to the future on another planet. There are monsters called Morlox. At the end of the story the young writer gives the Doctor one of his cards, which has the name HG Wells. The story implied that HG Wells' novel was inspired by the Doctor! But in reality "The Time Machine" paved the way for "Doctor Who", one of my favourite childhood shows. So we owe a lot to Wells. Time travel looks like a fun thing to do but sometimes it's best if the future is left unknown. Would you want to know your own future and find it's not what you hoped for?
Rating: Summary: Get inside the book Review: In The Time Machine, a man builds a time machine and uses it to go forward in time. He learns the differences between man today and in the future. I enjoyed the book for the author's ability tell a good story. My favorite part is when the "time traveler" fights the Morlocks. Some books, such as this one, make me think that I'm inside the book fighting of Morlocks or whatever. But it's very rare that an author has this talent.
