The narrator was fine. The book was .. meh. I read this when I was a pre-teen. I remembered none of it, and I can pretty much tell why. It's a classic, but that doesn't make it good. If you're looking for suspense, action, science fiction, plot twists .. yeah, this isn't the book. If you're looking for a human-interest story that just happens to be wrapped in a science fiction cover, you can probably add a star.

It’s an ok story… I get why is such a groundbreaking classic … but i didn’t find the story or the characters particularly compelling … love sci-fi on screen … on paper no so much I guess

I expected so much more. It was just boring, not energetic, no fear with characters, they just seem to go along like eh look chappy an alien over yander, lol. Who knows maybe the narrator didn’t help either with his toes,

Very good. Adventure, and a time machine taking you back more than a hundred years to experience life as was.
