Industry Reviews "Without question 'The Time Machine' is the best piece of writing. It will take its place among the great stories of our language. Like all excellent works it has meanings within its meaning." Reference Books - V. S. Pritchett
"Indeed, I would claim that Wells's early fiction is closer to the symbolic romances of Hawthorne or Melville, or to a complex fantasy like 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,' or even to the fables of Kafka, than it is to the more strictly scientific speculations of Verne." Reference Books - Bernard Bergonzi
"'The Time Machine'...is worth reading, if you like to read impossible yarns, and though there is scarcely an effort to make the queer invention, by means of which the inventor was projected into the year 800,000 of our era, seem likely, the narrative is smartly written, and the philosophy of the thing is at once obvious (which is desirable when a story book has any philosophy) and interesting." New York Times (07/16/1988)
