Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-17 00:00:00 Stuart Rinehart A slim little collection, quick and fun, done before I got tired of them. I've never read Wells before (I know! <>), and I was pleasantly surprised. There is a little bit of adjustment required (style so different from modern writing....), but once I settled in I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There's a good chance I'll pick up some more Wells in the future. Holds up remarkably well given the date of origin!
