A must read.

A deep thought provoking book, which challenges a new generation of readers to discover their meaning, and our life.

H.G. Wells was ahead of his time when he wrote this classic. In every chapter, he invites the reader to use his/her imagination and to visualize the facial expressions and tone of voice that the Time Traveler used when telling his story. In my childhood, my only familiarity of this classic was the film adaptation of George Pal. Reading this book was like watching a special edition of the film.

This is a brilliant inception of an actual time capsule within a well scribed book.

A lot times when I read a book I break it into pieces. Like I say I'll read 20 pages a day or 3 chapters a day, but with this book I didn't do that I read the entire book in one whole day. This book is one of the best books I have ever read and it truly is a classic. I highly recommend it to science fiction lovers like me.

Intellectually written with flowing words to ignite the imagination!

H. G. Wells at his very best. I have read this book three times in my 62 years and have enjoyed each time.

This book is weird but it is good and confusing

Well, it was an awesome read at 4:30 in the morning, and I was actually hoping to fall asleep to it, but after three pages I was pretty much hooked. I'm pretty sure anybody who reads this will love it. It was pretty freaking awesome. I'm kinda sad it ended already :(

I first read this book at the age of seven. At that time, this book fueled my boyish imagination and instilled in me the spirit of exploration and an undying hunger for knowledge and excitement. It gave me the courage and motivation to try many new things and to challenge myself in all that I do. I am seventeen now. This is my fourth time reading this book. And I feel like I'm seven again.

An absolute classic that everyone should read!

This is a really good science fiction book. H. G. Wells conveys details in amazing clarity and I look forward to reading his other novels! This is my first H.G. Wells novel.

Very well written, excelent.

The beginning was quite perplexing I admit, however, as the story progressed so did my interest in this work. The idea of time as a dimension was what really drew my interest. Physics buffs will love this book, that isn't to say it's a purely scientific work, philosophical questions arise as well: morality, ethics, and virtue. I enjoyed the book immensely it juxtaposed subjects of interest into a short novella without jeopardizing the work itself. To the 4th dimension, I salute it's wonders and perplexities.

Awesome! Seriously, my new favorite book.

Amazing this was written in late 1800's. An easy engaging and timeless read!!

This book is a never ending struggle for the main character the time traveler. He has traveled back in time and almost got eaten by morlocks and went to the future and met these huge crab like things that all want to eat him. It is a real page turner and a would recommend it to anyone

I found this book to be very interesting.

This book was assigned to me as a summer reading. I do not like to read, but I really got sucked in, by the story. I may say that H.G. Wells is and amazing writer, and that this book is really entertaining.

a classic

Get lost in a simpler time's future. This will have your imagination running wild. A literary work of art that should be read by everyone. I must say the digital probably looses a little of the magic from the loss of page-turning suspense, the weight of a book in hand, and the old musty smell of a leather blood.

THIS book is absaloutely a work of beauty. if you want a good book, read this book. it is tragic and scary and it paints a picture so vivid that you'll be haunted for days...LOL. just read it now! YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

What a delight!!! A wonderful adventure. Truly timeless.

I've just finished reading The Invisible Man, War of the Worlds and now The Time Machine. Loved them all! Fascinating studies of science at the turn of the last century. And great looks into the Victorian lifestyle and psyche. I would recommend them to anyone who enjoys reading classics.

Great book, I wish there was more! I specifically liked the beginning where they talked about the theories, but it was great all around.

This book is definitely not the best science fiction tale. It is, however, an exceptional tale about a time traveller that was written in 1898! It's amazing to read about H.G. Wells' view of 6,000 years into the future. He wrote it over 100 years ago yet his guess as to the state of the earth is as good as anyone could write today.

Go read this book to read, if nothing else, why time machines are a household term today.

I finished this book in 3 days love it and it's free

Title says all

I'm only 13 years old, and this story blew my mind. It's amazing a man that lived in the 1890's could make up a story like this. Or did or did he?...

I never rate anything but I enjoyed this book so much I had to take a minute to give it 5 stars.

I was so happy with this book, and it was free! Definitely get this book. It broadened my word vocabulary and was not one of those boring books usually made from long ago. This book is not hard to read at all, especially with the dictionary built in when you hold down on the word! It doesn't get much easier than apple, I must say. I never read, and I had to read this book for high school, so if i can read it, anyone can! Recommend it to EVERYONE! Come on now! It is FREE! Give it a shot! Haha :)

***SPOILER ALERT!***

I was not expecting the Time Traveller to disappear! I was hoping there would be a sequel including the next adventure and descriptions of pictures! I do enjoy though how Wells leaves it to your imagination to come up with what happened to him.

This is such an incredible piece of history. It comes from a time when the writer is not so concerned with the technology and special effects that science offers. Instead, he explores what could happen in the heart, in the development of the personality of humanity.

We see here the forebears of so much that was written and created in other media over the next century. But much classier.

I really don't know how to describe this book, besides the fact that it seems to pull you in. It's an amazing story, and I've never read another book like it!

Short book and a great read. From wikipedia: The book's protagonist is an English scientist and gentleman inventor living in Richmond, Surrey, identified by a narrator simply as the Time Traveller. The narrator recounts the Traveller's lecture to his weekly dinner guests that time is simply a fourth dimension, and his demonstration of a tabletop model machine for travelling through it. He reveals that he has built a machine capable of carrying a person, and returns at dinner the following week to recount a remarkable tale, becoming the new narrator:

Superb book of mystery! A little confusing at the beginning, but ends up as a loving story of trust in the unknown future.

This is a very good book. I liked it a lot. If you are a math lover and science lover you will marry this book. :) like I almost did... Just kidding... Anyways it is very interesting... I recommend this to you and highly recommend this to you if you love math and science!!!! :) :D :P
