H. G. Wells was a very interesting man, and extremely creative. He was very innovative for his time. Having read recently two books by Felix Palma where he has Mr. Wells as a character and incorporates this book in one and The War of the Worlds in the other, I wanted to go back and read these originals, as I hadn't before. It was an interesting read, well written and lots to make you think. I would have loved to have been able to meet Mr. Wells.
