Still fun to read

These eight stories were better than I remembered them. In these stories, Wells wrote mainly about the time he lived in, and he is very capable of bringing the reader back to the time and helping them to see just what it was like. From a historical perspective, fascinating. The plots are intriguing, and the characters are believable. Unlike Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who I think was only able to bring Holmes and Watson to life and found it difficult to write about other characters, Wells creates numerous characters that come alive. Even the Country of the Blind, which I never liked much before, was interesting not just as a story but as a provocative statement on culture, religion and science. I loved this book and highly recommend it.

good stories

I got this book in an instant on my Kindle and so far I love it. I haven't yet read all the stories but the ones I have read I have really enjoyed. It's really easy to read even though it's written in an old style.
