Critic reviews

"Sometimes slapstick, sometimes thoughtful, the book's delights are really too numerous to describe in detail." ( The Valley Times)
"Fun all the way through...carried out with both a respect for Wells's great work and a sense of humor about its own purpose." ( Asimov's Science Fiction)
