A review by sidharthvardhan
The Time Machine by H.G. Wells

3.0

"Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. There is no intelligence where there is no need of change.

Doctor Who is my favorite hero. The idea of time travel really fascinates me -the only weird thing I have. You see I had to read this. In quite a few way the Time Traveler in the story reminds you of Doctor Who:

“Things that would have made fame of a less clever man seemed tricks in his hands. It is a mistake to do things too easily."

Wells brings to science fiction, the kind of excitement children get from comics. In very little space, there is a bit of action, some scientific philosophy and some observations on the society. His ideas have been used by so many books, television series and movies; that the story seems a bit cliche.
