The Time Machine
by H.G. Wells

I couldn't put this one down. I was a little apprehensive coming into it that I didn't much care for H.G. Wells; I ended up putting The War of the Worlds down half-way through, but this was totally different. Part sci-fi, party mystery, part social criticism, this book checked a lot of boxes for me. I also really like his writing style! He gives just enough to paint a vivid picture without being caught in the usual trap of describing everything in unnecessary detail. Can definitely recommend!
