Customer Reviews

Very inventive

Considering when it was written, the author creates a futuristic society that appears good but has flaws like any other city. The inventions were interesting and the problems between the elite and the impoverished was depicted well. The sleeper's observation of what is going on around him is amusing because he is from a very different time. Good read.

when the sleeper wakes

When the Sleeper Wakes was a pretty good book. It was a little boring in some spots though. This wasn't one of H.G. Wells' better stories. I reccomend others like the Invisible Man or The War of the Worlds or The Time Machine.
