This was a relatively quick read- 4 hours for the 24 in 48 Readathon. I was glad to finally get to this science fiction classic, but it didn't really stand the test of time. I'm sure it was brilliant in 1895, but now that it's been in the sci-fi consciousness for over 100 years, it's been surpassed by many books of its genre. Even for such a short book, it doesn't read quickly with plenty of boring bits. It's not particularly happy either, nor is it the "fun gloomy" of the dystopian novels we've become accustomed to in this century.
Much like Poe and Lovecraft, whose stories I've also been revisiting of late, I like many of Wells' story ideas but find the writing itself often laborious primarily due to a lack of emotional investment in any of the characters. This was no exception. And like most males overly quick to label themselves feminists, Wells' patriarchal notions of women suggest he's not quite so "woke" as he considered himself.
