Dude was a PLAY-UH of major proportions.
Seriously, I liked this very much and was actually quite moved by parts of it. Wells wrote it as an addenda to his memoir Experiment in Autobiography which was missing parts of his sentimental and sexual life, in some instances for obvious reasons.

H.G. Wells was a wonderful writer...BUT...the man was also quite a freaky-deek! LOL. Man! If you want to read some juicy romances, read "H.G.Wells in love." The man was VERY ahead of his "time." A in-depth look at a literary legend.
I was on the fence about giving this book two or three stars, It was getting a little bit repetitious ,and i wish he would have gotten more into depth about his feelings,and how his wife felt about all his affairs.I will definitely read his autobiography to learn more about him.
This is pretty rad because it descibes H.G. Wells' proper British affairs.
