Customer Reviews

Timeless classics

H.G. Wells knew what he was doing. Time Machine was apparently something he wrote hastily, given that he needed the cash at the time. I'm sorry we never got to see what he meant to do with it. The Invisible Man proves that anyone can be a monster given the right circumstances. The War of the Worlds kept me interested primarily by stressing the inevitable chaos that would later come while showing us the absolute bliss and naivety of those witnessing the events unfold.
