The Time Machine, is a thrilling book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. One Reason, you wont want to put this book about is, all the action that goes on in each chapter. Another reason, is it gives us hope that we could change things. H.G. Wells writes about the dreams that most people have of building a real working time machine. Everyone, at some point in their lives have wondered what it would be like if we could go back or forward in time. H.G. Wells makes that dream come true for us. In the book, the Time Traveler went into the future, and he was very disappointed at what he saw. He saw that the people of the future were very uneducated. They had the mentality of a 4-year-old. It makes the Time Traveler appreciate the period of time he came from. I would recommend this book, because it shows us that no matter how much our world is struggling, we should appreciate the time we live in. God is in control and he puts us exactly were we need to be.

Very good CD's...I am a teacher, and I played them for my students when we were studying science fiction, as I wanted to expose them to the classics. They read along with a book, and it went very well!

These two tales are a MUST for anyone who loves Wells's work. Its far-sightedness, its intuitive feel for "things to come," the sparkling lucidity of his prose, his dry wit...not to be missed. And if anything, both tales, dealing as they do with future alternatives we wouldn't wish on ourselves, remain dangerously relevant as warnings of what will happen if we don't manage the present with greater thoughtfulness and foresightedness.
