fantasticalsam's review against another edition
adventurous
slow-paced
I read this book because I recently read a history of the concept of time travel - the first chapter is the only one worth reading. Misogynistic, exceptionally racist even for the period. If it were any longer, I wouldn't have finished it.

riverofhorton's review against another edition
I need to take a break from this book for an indeterminate amount of time. I just can't deal with the audacity, racism, classism, ableism, and arrogance of this man.
I may well come back to this book at a later date (if so, I will update this review), but for now I am not in the mental space to be reading this. Which is honestly such a shame, I have been looking forward to actually reading this book since watching the 60s film as a kid.

mc0's review against another edition
This book is incredibly racist and misogynistic. I have better things to do with my time than hear the author berate women and people of color.
