The science fiction classic that coined the term "time machine" and is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel. A must listen for any fan of science fiction!

Good but short

very interesting to hear the original literary version of the movie. It was much shorter than I anticipated and it looks like the movie took many Liberties in the finishing of the story.

I like this book and I was very excited when I saw this book for 99 cents. I thought I would listen to it on my way home from work. The reader has a nice voice and does characters well, however, I couldn't get over his weird pausing. He seems to not understand basic punctuations and attempts to add his own very poorly. I tried for about an hour but couldn't make it through. It's an unbeatable price and if you really like the book, you may be able to get past it, but for me, it was not worth it.

The narrator is a great sleeping tonic!

Any additional comments?

I almost fell asleep listening to this one. It is a good thing I was not driving. I love H.G. Wells what a shame.

Good story

I read a few reviews about the narrator being bad and I do not agree. While he is no Scott Brick, I thought he did a nice job on a good story that was well written. I got this title for less than a dollar so it would be hard for me to bash for the price

Way to ruin a good book

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Barely. Many times I almost just deleted the audio.

What did you like best about this story?

Having read the book before I like the story. the descriptions alway get to me.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

bad pacing, stops and starts, monotone, boring.

Was The Time Machine worth the listening time?
