Has anyone ever read the H.G Wells book?


I have never read any of his works, but I am currently watching the film.

I listened to it on audiobook many years ago. It's very good.

Yes! He's an excellent writer but there is a bit of a struggle to understand some things. A lot like reading Shakespeare, language and culture has changed so much from when he wrote is books that it is not for the lighthearted reader.

I especially liked how he described the glittering caves and the sea monster.

That’s a very closed question, but yes, I have read it. It’s quite a short book.
