(I read a simplified edition, so I won't comment on grammar/vocabulary.)

This was great. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, mainly with regards to the protagonist and the atmosphere: in some chapters I felt like I was reading a pantomime, in others a horror story.
I really enjoyed it and if I can find a non-simplified edition I'd love to read it again.

3.0

A quick enjoyable read, with interesting themes of power, morality and science - though I still prefer Wells's realist fiction to his science fiction.

A genius albino physicist is beaten to death by locals after being harassed due to their appearance by the local hotel staff and community. 4/5 would recommend.

Again, as with The Time Machine, something about Wells' writing truly drew me in and engrossed me in the story. Short, exciting, scientifically-based, if not 'plausible'. I enjoyed.
