The story follows the Time Traveler who goes more than eight hundred thousand years into the future to discover what will happen to the human race. He finds humans are divided into two groups: those who live idyllically, and those who do the work; travelling even farther into the future, the traveler then observes the physical limitations of both the human species and the planet itself. Wells was interested in the implications of evolutionary theory on the future of human beings at the biological, sociological, and cultural levels, and The Time Machine, short and readable, draws on many of the social and scientific debates of the time. Extremely popular when it first came out, it remains one of the most often taught books in courses on Science Fiction and Fantasy. The Broadview edition includes materials on WellsÂ’s scientific and political influences. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Timeless ClassicWhen I was in high school I often avoided delving into the classics opting for efficiency resulting in free time in lieu of poring over pages of prose. But as an adult (with too much time on planes and trains) I have had the opportunity to revisit the classics and so far (and by far) The Time Machine is my favorite book. There are three areas in which this book excels that I feel are worthwhile: 1. Style. I often found myself reading and re-reading the same pages over and ...

I was very wrong and it turned out to be a very interesting and dramatic book with a dark view of what the world was turning into. The Time Traveler goes into thousands of years into the future and meets 2 races, the eloi and the morlocks. The book wasn't very hard to read, contrary to what some people said, and I'm only 12. The ending was kind of sad and bleak, but other than that this book is fantastic! I would recommend ... Read More Rating: - A Timeless ClassicThe Time Machine by H. G. Wells The Time Machine is a great ebook! H.G. Wells is a wonderful author because of his ability to blend the elements of science fiction with social commentary and human feelings. Rating: - Excellent!!As I stated in my other reviews, I normally don't enjoy science fiction novels; this book I had to read for school. As I read what I expected to be a boring and unentertaining novel, my opinion changed, and I became more open to enjoying the story. I found that it was an enchanting novel that no one should pass up. H. G. Wells made the story come alive and he made the setting, set in the future, somewhere you feel could possibly exist as his descriptions are so vivid and his wording fanominal. Read ... Read More Rating: - Wells blends Genre's with easeI am sure that you have seen the movies that have been made from this book, there are quite a few and most of them are very entertaining. Unfortunately none of the movies that I have seen have captured the social meaning behind this book. Certainly they have the adventure part down pat, but the rest of it is changed, for the times I'm sure. I would advise those of you who love Sci-fi to read this book, and to those of you, like myself who have a hard time getting into that genera, look at this as a classic ... Read More
