Summary: Truly a Classic!
Comment: OK, we've all seen at least one of the movie versions of H.G. Well's The Time Machine, but none of them truly compare with the oringinal Sci-Fi classic. The book tells the story of the Time Traveler's journey nearly a million years into the future and the very unexpected and disturbing society he finds there. The Time Traveler formulates various theories based on what he observes of the society, which each, in turn, prove to be oh, so wrong! [Warning: mild spoiler] In the end, his realization of the future is especially terrifying considering it is the result of our current social structure (or H.G. Well's, anyway).
I especially recommend this book for those of us with short attention spans - it's only 140 pages (and that's the large print version). But don't get the wrong idea, this book still has more depth and creativity than most 500 page books i've read and is a great read, even compared with today's science fiction standards.
This book has to be considered a classic considering it spawned a whole genre of time traveling books, movies, and tv shows whcih imitated it. Get a hold of a copy and read it today!

Summary: Advanced, yet amazing!
Comment: The Time Machine was a very advanced book! It was written in 1895 but still H.G. Wells uses vivid descriptions and has one heck of an imagination. It starts with him in a meeting and he tells his friends of his plans to build a machine to travel through time with. I thought the book would tell about many different trips into the future or past, but it only told of one. The Time Traveller, as the main character is called, tells of his trip millions of years into the future where he encounters an evolved form of the human beings we associate with in our time. When I realized that the book would only be about one trip into the far future, I thought the book would just ramble on about a week or two, but it was surprisingly interesting. I really enjoyed The Time Machine and I thought it was a great book. The only thing that made me give it four stars was how tough some of the concepts were to grasp. You can still read and enjoy the book without totally understanding what it is based off of, but it makes you wonder and really think about all the crazy things H.G. Wells came up with. I thought it was very hard to make sense of everything, but like I said, you can still enjoy the book without understanding everything. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who likes science fantasy.

Summary: not bad
Comment: 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.
