I’m not much of a science fiction reader so this was a little difficult to get into. Quick story but not at all what I expected. Amazing to see what people thought the future would look like. H.G. Wells is one creative writer.

Hubo varias partes que se me hicieron pesadas y aburridas (es un libro tan corto), pero la idea y la historia en sí es genial, y más, que en tan pocas páginas, reflexiona tanto sobre la humanidad.

This was a surprisingly delightful book! I had heard it was sort of boring, but found that it was actually pretty interesting. It’s short as well, so it is over quickly even if you do not particularly enjoy it. Anyway, a great introduction to the history of the time travel story and science fiction in general. H. G. Wells was a legend.

The Time Machine is an easy to read classics. It tells us more about humanity all through the time. It's a great look at man and how he could go either way - toward the sunny, stupid people above or the dark, smart people below who eat the people above. It's a great adventure story, and the author did a great job narrating the story and bringing it to life.
