It is possible I could be bias with this one as I am a Time Machine and H.G. Wells fan, but then again I think it is safe to say this is one of my new favourite ones regardless of that. The story is a great one and you can’t go wrong with a story like that, but you can go wrong in re-telling and I did not experience that at all with this adaptation. For the rest of my review.

I wanted to love this graphic novel, but there wasn't anything special about it to me. I enjoy adaptations when they become something new and add something powerful to the original. This story is just a short version of "The Time Machine." The images and colors take some of the creepiness out of the story, and the characters' faces are strange. This graphic novel was simply okay to me. I didn't hate it, but I didn't really like it either. I wanted to love this graphic novel, but there wasn't anything special about it to me.

I read this during one of my classes "Free Read Friday" afternoons. It isn't a long read. Just a graphic novel adaptation of the classic novel of the same name. Slightly different--not anything spectacular or life changing. I read this during one of my classes "Free Read Friday" afternoons. It isn't a long read.

I LOVED this!! The illustrations, beginning with the front cover, and throughout every page, dazzled me. I was fully immersed, excited, and transported while reading this book. I bought it to read and to pass along to my nephew. I think he will also really enjoy it. I am so excited to have learned about this Campfire imprint, and I will look for more from their Classics collection. (The book references their website www.campfire.co.in , so I will be checking that out to find more). What a great I LOVED this!!

(The book references their website www.campfire.co.in , so I will be checking that out to find more). What a great idea - to illustrate the Classics! Also, the book itself is printed on strong paper, so it feels thick/substantial for a comic book, it is nicely bound, and the cover and pages have such a great feel. It feels like a good, solid comic book to keep or a hardy gift that one could be proud to give. I liked holding it, almost as much as reading it. Thank you, Campfire! Also, their explanation (in the back of the book) about the value of sitting around the campfire and telling stories, and about how we grow when hearing stories, was beautiful.

This story is a good source for a graphic novel, but I wasn't crazy about the style of illustration - it should have been darker and more gritty. I don't think I will get another Campfire adaptation.

This is a great rendition of The Time Machine. The art is great, and i think it's a great start for anyone wanting to get into classics or graphic novels without starting at the hard ones.

I like these Campfire graphic novels because I can get these classic stories read in under an hour AND have pictures to accompany it!
