Have only read a bit of HG Wells before, and must say that this, for me, is the perfect kind of Daily Lit read. It's not too long so I finish it within a reasonable time and it's exciting. Not too too many details to remember between installments thus easy to find the thread again.<br/>Not sure if Wells was reflecting on some sort of post war experience, but the scenes of the main character tramping through a war-torn England seemed particularly poignant.
