It's always hard to write two books at once.
The Time Machine had a very intriguing concept. A brilliant inventor invents a time machine and uses it to travel through time. He then recounts his adventures for the reader. Though it was very interesting it was a rather boring read.Perhaps it is the century in which it was written? I found it a little hard to get into.
The Invisible Man was better written in my opinion, but also a little difficult to get into due to language and grammar. A brilliant man discovers the means to make himself invisible and is shortly after driven mad as he seeks the assistance of Dr. Kemp to cure him of his invisibility.
Both very fascinating reads. I can see why HG Wells is one of the fathers of modern science fiction. Any sci-fi readers need to check out these 2 novels for sure.
