Stephen Baxter did an excellent job of writing this book in the voice of HG Wells. It had the rhythm and feel of the original. I've read enough Stephen Baxter to know he doesn't write like this normally, so kudos to him on a job well done.

The story was interesting, and I feel into it very quickly. It also reads very quickly. The only problem I had with the book was the length. HG Wells never padded out a story for hundreds of pages. This book would have been better off if it had been a little tighter, and a bit shorter.
