The Time Machine: A review


Hello. I'm Samuel and this is my review on the Time Machine by H.G wells. 

I remember first reading the time machine four or five years ago, when my dad had bought it and brought it home for me.  I remember not being a big fan of reading at the time, but after reading the first pages of the book, I was invested and short days after finished the book.

During the first weeks of the blog cycle, I found the book sitting in my shelf, so after many years, I decided to read the book again to see what kept me so interested. 

The book is set in the year 1895, in London, the main character being, well... The time traveler. A very famous inventor who has just finished working on his greatest invention, the time machine. He calls many of his friends to see his new time machine. After their visit, he decides to test the machine for the first time, being met with a success, having travelled four hours ahead. He pulls the lever again, being taken to the year 802,701. He meets people who would guide and show him around. After, he returns back to London and tells his discoveries, and that the machine worked.

Reading the book brought back many memories. The book was a short read, so finishing it quickly was unexpected for me. Rereading it refreshed a lot of the things I didn't remember from the book, and I also understood many more things I didn't understand when I was younger, not only because I've learned to read better, but my English has improved. Overall, the book was short and straightforward. It was an enjoyable read that brought back many memories from my childhood. I highly recommend this book.

Thanks for reading!

Books I Haven't Finished...yet (Mateo Hernandez)

Books that are still in progress... Huckleberry Finn, a Bible, and the hatchet Granny gave me.                I love reading. It’s a great way to relax and unwind after a stressful day at school, to learn, or to spend your free time. But sometimes, even if you love to read, you don’t always finish your books. Whether it’s because you lost interest, ran out of time, or got distracted, it happens to all of us. Here are some books that I haven't finished and why: 1.       The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn I began reading this book towards the end of summer break when I reached a point of boredom with my free time that I couldn’t stand. So, I asked my mom to pick up some books when she ran to the library. I specifically asked for classics because I enjoyed previous ones like Of Mice and Men . She returned with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. This book is essentially about...

The story continues with Katniss Everdeen, the main character, and Peeta Mellark returning to District 12 after winning the 74th Hunger Games.

The pair embarks on a Victory Tour, during which Katniss realizes the growing unrest in the districts. President Snow announces the 75th Hunger Games, the Quarter Quell, which involves a twist that brings previous victors back into the arena. Katniss and Peeta find themselves once again in a fight for survival, alliances, betrayal, and a rebellion brewing in the districts.
