  HG must have written this with a twinkle in his eye, chuckling to himself. The story is quite good, but what really makes this novel is the writing.

  Sample: "You must picture Mr. Thomas Marvel as a person of copious, flexible visage, a nose of cylindrical protrusion, a liquorish, ample, fluctuating mouth, and a beard of bristling eccentricity. His figure inclined to embonpoint; his short limbs accentuated this inclination. He wore a furry silk hat, and the frequent substitution of twine and shoe-laces for buttons, apparent at critical points of his costume, marked a man essentially a bachelor."

  Loving it!

  There were parts of this book that really made me laugh. I also really enjoyed when he was wandering around naked on Oxford Street and by the British Museum. On the whole I don't think it was by any means Wells' best. But still highly enjoyable.
