The Time Machine

Summary: Aye
Review: I had to read this for English in preparation for an essay, which always has a way of detracting from a book, but even so, it's a worthy classic that presents you with loads of fresh, crisp images. It does lag in bits, but there are some stupendous bits that need to be read. As i remember it, some parts genuinely terrified me and i think Morlocks were the pre-amble for what has now materialised itself as my utmost fear and hatred of all spiders tht have the audacity to come within four feet of me. Minions. Well, read if you think it will benefit your life. If not, avoid.

Summary: The Time Machine
Review: The Time Machine by H.G. Wells is a great science fiction book with great mental effects. This book gives the idea that time travel is harmless and cannot hurt anyone. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys science fiction and also for people who like reading adventure books. The only downside to this book is that it gives the impression that in the future, there will be no advance machines or technology. That is a part which is a bit depressing. Other than that this is a great book.

Summary: Listen carefully!
Review: Listen up if you are hesitent to read this book. I had to read this for gifted English class, and I was ready to quit reading it after the first chapter (I only knew like half the words he used), but really, believe me, it gets a LOT better and more exciting. I hate science fiction books but the adventure was captivating. So please, stick with this book and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Summary: This book was absolutely terrific!
Review: The Time Machine is a great book. I love science-fiction and this is almost the best book I've read. It's about how a man travels into the future with his time machine and finds that the human race has split into two: the beautiful, small, and frail but dumb Eloi and the white, monkey-looking, red-eyed, but ugly Morlocks. What happens in the end? Read it for yourself. If you're a fan of H.G. Wells or of science fiction, this book is for you!

Summary: Horrible
Review: This book was one of the worst books I have ever read. The author make an attempt to sound as though he has an extremly high vocab. in the beginng of the book by using words that most average people don't know, but then stops as the book goes on almost like he ran out. The story itself wasn't bad but the way it was told was. From the start you know the ending, but then at the end the author make an attempt to change it in a way he did, but in away that it would not have mattered if he did or did not. I would like to finish by saying if you like sci-fi stuff you might like this book, but if you don't you'll probaly hate it.

Summary: Wow, great explanations and interesting theories
Review: I loved this book! Looking for the next Hitchhickers Guide to the Gallaxy, I feel across this book and decided, What the hell... It is a fabulous book about man's evolution a miilion years from now. Aristocracy has eveolved into almost a Utopian society, almost. The everyday industrial worker of the world evolves into a white beast, living underground, away from sunlight. The 2 species evolved from humans, yet they are completly different. The evolution of the world around them (flint, petrolium, and many other materials have been used up) has caused these species to be nothing more than animals. The workers do show a little more promise though, keeping one of their last items of food alive the workers breed and feed on the cute furry humans. Absolutly a fantastic look at what careless usage of our materials could create!!!! Read it. (Pretty short too)

Summary: BORING????
Review: This book has been required reading in High Schools for years. My experience is that school actually demotivates people from wanting to read. How many of us can relate with the feelings of never wanting to read another book after high school. When grades are the motivation to read, people search for the cliff notes and or look for reviews in Encyclopedias. In my High School English class, grades were given on the basis of how many books one read. If you read 8-10 you received an A. The problem was that after knowing one was going to get an A, all reading stopped. Reading is supposed to be done for the joy of it. I hear the word boring used a great deal when reviewing a book. I know so many kids who end up hating reading because they received a poor grade. The classics including The Time Machine are challenging books. I would never use boring as an adjective to describe a book however.

Summary: I think that The Time Machine was a very good book.
Review: I think that The Time Machine was a very good book. I especially liked the way Herbert George Wells mixed science with fiction and added a little mystery ending to the story.

Summary: Very good book
Review: As an eighth grader, most books that I read, I find lame and dull. But this book caught my interest from the beggining all the way to the end.

Summary: poignant ending
Review: The book's ending made me feel good. And there are few books that can do that to readers. Warning: do not watch the movie! or at least read the book before watching it. The movie sucks! and it might distort the way you remember the book.
