Apparently the third time is the charm, I have read two other works by H.G Wells (The Time Machine and War of the Worlds) and found both fell flat from the expectation society had placed on them. This one though had my favorite book plot... dystopian society. I love hearing about what people think the future will be like, especially when its messed up. It was great! Was going to give it 4 stars.
Until the book took a SERIOUSLY racist turn... and the bad guys in the future are Black people!!! :(
WHY PEOPLE!
