Book Review: The Time Machine

I just finished reading “The Time Machine” by, H. G. Wells. It seems like this should have been a book I should have read as a class assignment when I was in highschool. But regardless that I am now 28, a good book is still a good book no matter your age.

I truely enjoyed reading this book. The way it was writen was very beautiful.

The book’s protagonist is a scientist and amateur inventor living in London who is never named; he is identified simply as The Time Traveller. Having demonstrated to friends using a miniature model that time is a fourth dimension, and that a suitable apparatus can move back and forth in this fourth dimension, he builds a full-scale model capable of carrying himself. He sets off on a journey into the future.

Until I read this book my only ideas of what the future might hole where somethings I took from Star Trek, or the movie Back to the Future. But this book opened my mind to so many other possabilities that our future my hold. It was a really good read.
