A classic of science fiction with interesting commentary on society and politics (and what we ought to change), but definitely a lot of work for so short of a story. It's on the dryer side when it comes to sci-fi, and after the initial intrigue I found it difficult to keep my focus. The overall ending feels slightly anti-climactic,
(though I did love the Time Traveller never returning as it added a lot of intrigue)
but I still enjoyed myself for the most part. 

Just don't expect something thrilling going in.
