H.G. Wells is one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time. This collection; which includes The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, The First Men in the Moon, The Food of the Gods, and In the Days of the Comet; are masterpieces. My favorite

I read two stories out of this book. Technically I have not read the entire book. However the two stories i read were great and amazing! Here are my reviews of the stories:
The Time Machine - Excellent Read. It took me forever to read it due to it being sooooo detailed! But loved his adventure in
The Island of Dr. Moreau - I was pleasantly surprised that it was not the same as the Val Kilmer/Marlon Brando movie version. If you don't know, its a story about a man who comes upon an island full of animal/human monstrosities created by a mad doctor. Good story and superb ending. Just like in his other works, he shows how the real life reflects the crazy island Prendick was stranded upon.

the future with the cute little beings and the evil Morlocks. I did not expect the ending to be like that.
