The Time Machine - H. G. Wells

Well this was a great book.

I got a bit hung up on the spellings, the English of the 1890's annoyed me, yet I thought it was wonderful too.

The story of a fantastical journey to some distant future of the 700,000s with Morlocks and Eloi.

Read it, you should, it's the first true sci-fi story ever.

I will read it again at some point I'm sure.

4.5/5

Legend of the Guardians, The Owls of Ga'Hoole - Kathryn Lasky

Just finished this now, read it all this morning.
Mum told me it was amazing after loving the film and the book herself.
It's part of a series and it seems like it would only get better from this one.
It was endearing and I warmed to the owls who were to be loved and thoroughly disliked the owls who were to be hated.

I might read the rest of them, if I get the chance, but if I don't I won't mind.
I think  I'd like to see the film though.

3.8/5
