Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-30 00:00:00 Dennis Woods This edition is sexy. Unlike another reviewer who said this is dated, that is just what is so lovely about H.G. Wells. Good vintage sci-fi not only tells a good story, but acts as a time capsule to reveal the views and concerns of a generation. Even the writing style is very revealing. So, if you do prefer to feel like you are sitting on the edge of your seat, Wells is not for you. If you weird enough to enjoy feeling like you are eavesdropping on your ancestors, this book is awesome. Did I mention that is really sexy looking?

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-07 00:00:00 Clinton Stoller Of the seven novels included in this omnibus, I've read three over the course of time: The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau and The War of the Worlds. The first and third, in separate, standalone editions initially. This volume has become my usual reading before going to bed as I endeavor to complete the collection. As of writing this note, I'm in the middle of The First Men in the Moon [November 2020]. As long as you can deal with the fact that H.G. was a white, male, European writer of his time, the stories are entertaining and there is a certain fascination with seeing what constituted a "hero" in the late Victorian era. I was struck particularly with the cruel, heartless pragmatism of the "hero" of Dr. Moreau. And, for whatever reason, I still find the final words of WotW moving: "And strangest of all is it to hold my wife's hand again, and to think that I have counted her, and that she has counted me, among the dead."
