good and fine for a single reading !! lots of imperialism, a cool premise, and the frame narrative was the coolest part.

I think it’s important to recognize the timing of this book and the fact that it is more or less the original Time Travel story. This is important because it doesn’t feel original anymore, now that the ideas have been used numerous times. It is good book and an easy read.

It's an okay book. Sometimes it was hard to focus on what's was happening and I had to reread a lot of paragraphs, but I think that's on me. It has a fast pace so I think overall it's easy to read, especially if you enjoy sci-fi.

Great writing and a classic to get lost in. The world Wells creates of the distant future results in great curiousity and wonder and at times some sense of fear of the unknown. Only issues being that it's relatively short (which can't be complained about really) and that some things aren't really explained to a degree I wished them to be in the book.

Está bastante chulo, aunque es muy corto. Pero bueno, dan ganas de leer algún otro de este tío (La Guerra de los Mundos). El notas propone un futuro (en el 800.000 d.C. o algo así) raro de cojones, pero curiosísimo xdddd
