Very much so, although the author manages to make it much more poignant than I expected, but it was for good reasons.
Yeah, H.G. Wells. I finished it a couple nights ago. It's very... Pompous? It's so over the top that it wouldn't surprise me if it was actually supposed to be satire... but I don't think it was. I'm glad I read it, but I highly doubt I'll ever pick it up again. Oh, and it's The Time Machine, not Traveler - sorry for the brain fart.
lol, yeah, I didn't even remember the name ๐
I pretty much read all my H. G. Wells in my very young days, and haven't gone back to them after that. May pick it up again to see how I feel about it now.
