I highly recommend reading some of his work, Island of Doctor Moraeu really doesn't stand the test of time for me and the Time Machine really suffers from all the adaptations its had. However the Invisible Man is still ok and War of the World is still amazing.shanet wrote:I have not read Wells at all and based on the reviews it seems that I should bypass him. He is considered a classic read and the premises have been made into movies. So, should I put forth the time to read Wells?
But my personnel favorite is 'First Men in the Moon', probably not as well written as War of the Worlds but i never heard anything about so it before so it was a pleasant surprise (also the 60's movie with effects by Harryhasuen is pretty decent too).
