The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
5.0
5/5 stars
I brought the book out of whim without any knowledge of its content, so i wasn't expecting much. But holy hell, this book is soooo good. I love it! It's simple, it's quick, and it's a page turner. The world building does not bore me at all! Wells' prose is not excessive, yet it's still detailed, imaginative, and full of vivid imagery. His use of symbolism and allegory (especially about social and economical class difference) adds an extra layer of complexity to the story, making it more thought-provoking. A very recommended read, if you're into adventure and dystopian future.
