Normally I get impatient and can't wait for the audio to find out what happens, but this narrator was really good so I held out and didn't read ahead.

Maybe shape-shifting is a better superpower, though I've always wanted to be able to communicate with animals (telepathically, so as not to attract attention). <br /><br />And if you've seen The Time Machine, I highly recommend the episode of Big Bang Theory when they bid on one of the props from the movie. <br />Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-24392646691624728912017-05-05T05:22:59.065-04:002017-05-05T05:22:59.065-04:00If you enjoyed Kipps, I think you'd really enj...If you enjoyed Kipps, I think you'd really enjoy The History of Mr Polly, about a draper's assistant who escapes to a better life.

(I've always wanted to have the power to become invisible, but I have a feeling this is not about having a super power.) Anyway, The Time Machine (the film) was my favorite when I was younger - yes, the Morlocks were frightening, though it was so fake, too - but the book isn't anything like the film. I guess it is a good thing, although at first I was disappointed. Nonetheless, it wasn't such a major problem. Wells still has an idea to his story (even if you disagree, which I did).
