I did not like The Time Machine. I thought that it was sort of boring and I could barely keep reading it. The actual machine itself was ok but I did not like the diologue that H.G. Wells put into the book.When it got to the part where he first goes to the future I almost went to sleep right away. I was very bored and I almost picked up another book.Anyways the book is about a man that goes to the future and meets up with these small people that eat fruit all day. Then he meets the mongrels that eat the small people. Which I think is sort of stupid.In the book H.G. Wells doesn't, I think, portray the time traveler as he should be portrayed. I think it would also be nice if could have given everybody names instead of calling them their profession.Over all I give this book a 2 out of 5.
