A review by smitchy
A Slip under the Microscope by H.G. Wells

2.0

I enjoyed the first story more than the second. A mystery door that appears to tempt a man only when he absolutely must be elsewhere. The second story really was not what I expected from Wells. It was very firmly "real world". But what did surprise me was how modern the class room interactions where between the male and female characters. The fact that there were female characters studying science at a university also surprised me given the story was originally published in 1896.
