becca_osborn 's review for:

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
5.0

This novel is innovative for late 1800s. It seems he was spot on about several things. I wonder what Wells would think of society today––would he think it had deteriorated?

I wonder why Wells chose to use little dialogue?

I like that the time traveler is telling his story, and I loved realizing that his 'audience' was fictional. We, the readers, were the 'second' audience, if that makes sense. Well, I found that interesting, anyway.

I love any savagery v. civilization type books. :)

This is the first I've read of Wells, and I'm looking forward to more.
