The Time Machine – H.G. Wells
Genre: Science-fiction
Pages: 148
The story is about a time traveler who has travelled through the future and now he shares his experience about the journey. He has worked up a time machine which he uses to visit future – to the year eight hundred and two thousand seven hundred and one A.D. (I don’t quite understand which year the author is talking about).
The author has put forth his imagination of the world of future in a beautiful way. He talks about two different breeds of people who will survive in future : The Morlocks – Undergrounders and The Eloi – Upper-worlders.
The language is simple and comprehensible. But at points the narration is not picturesque. The starting and ending is very strong and impressive. Author has kept me interested and involved in the story. But I think the narration could have been better. The genre is Science-fiction but there is not much of it. You should read the book if the world of future fascinates you a bit.
Rating: 6.5/10
