Title: Not the best of Wells's work...
Review: In 1897 a gentlemen falls asleep to wake up in 2100. In the future he finds himself owner of much of the world as his money, which grew while he slept, was used to take over the world by buying up all businesses and property. Now the "Sleeper" finds himself in the middle of a power struggle between those who have and those who have not.The characters are bland, the future feels like a false front, like one of those towns used in a Wild West movie, and even after pages and pages of details everything still seems vague. I can't picture much of what he writes about as he seems to skim over scenes, leaving out details, and shooting ahead to what parts of the story he believes are important.His idea about cities of the future, while interesting, is not interesting enough to carry a whole plot.
