Magic Marmalade 22nd Jul 2020		Rated 9/10 I have this! These Octopus books are great value, but tend to omit at least one of the key stories by any particular author you are after (My Hemmingway one lacks a couple of the big titles :(... ...But this has all the good Wells stuff in it you want. What is striking about his stories is how my pre-conceived notions about how dated and quaint his Sci-fi / physics notions were actually even now have a surprising air of plausibility about them... even the patently daft ones... like going to the moon in a tin foil box to meet the ant people... The physics is clearly duff, but his ideas and explanations are very well considered, and brilliantly explained, like the concept of how the physics of his time machine works... really conjures an image in the mind. Just a shame it doesn't work that way really.... I think his stories deserve better physics in the real world. (Maybe we could start a petition to get science changed to accommodate Wells! :) Top volume, well worth geting, as it's great value. ((And still can't any reference to any bleedin' octopus)) 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
