4.0 out of 5 stars
Great stories, July 1, 2003
This review is from: Selected Works of H. G. Wells: The Time Machine; The Island of Dr. Moreau; The Invisible Man; The First Men in the Moon; The Food of the Gods; In the Days of the Comet; The War of the Worlds (Hardcover)
I've read all but one of these stories in other editions, and I found them quite well-written. While Wells' science is not always up to par with modern standards (the notion that Helium could form a barrier to gravity, for example), it is amusing to see his imagination at work. His characters are quite realistic and very British, as should be expected.
I can't say anything about the quality of the print or binding of this edition, but the stories are certainly some of the best of Wells' science fiction I've read.

I hate the book because it has no plot and the characters seem to be retarded. -Matt Cain
