Reviews for A Slip Under the Microscope
19 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I enjoyed the first story more than the second. A mystery door that appears to tempt a man only when he absolutely must be elsewhere. The second story really was not what I expected from Wells. It was very firmly "real world". But what did surprise me was how modern the class room interactions where between the male and female characters. The fact that there were female characters studying science at a university also surprised me given the story was originally published in 1896.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5These two short stories are by H.G. Wells, so of course I was expecting science fiction. But they were not. The first, "The Door in the Wall," contains some magical, fantastic elements, but they are in a story told to the narrator who never quite decides whether or not he believes them. The second is the title story, and is about class and distinguishing oneself at a prestigious university. Both feature "but what do you really want in life?" kind of decisions. Both feel very true in their understanding of human nature. I'm not normally fond of short stories, but for some reason I ended up fond of both of these.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Two short story form Wells. A mystic one about missed opportunities and a maybe a bit too didactic moraliy story. Not his bests of course, but still an interesting read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An interesting pair of stories. I've seen people complain about how they aren't science fiction (and they're not) but authors often write beyond their core genre, and it's unfair to be disappointed when they do. The first story might be classed as fantasy, the second is a real world character study. I enjoyed the first more, but both are interesting.
