This is one of my favorite all time books. I got my first copy from a book fair at my elementary school when I was about nine but it was a little over my head at first. I think I finally was able to read the whole book at about the age of ten or eleven and I have read it several times since. Wells was very young when he wrote The Time Machine and it was published when he was 29. The writing is beautiful and translucent and the story telling is impeccable. My favorite part is when the Time Traveler goes 30 million of years into the future and witnesses the twilight of the Earth. The adventures that the Time Traveler experiences among the Eloi and Molochs are quite harrowing at times and the riddle of the Sphinx is equally perplexing. If you enjoy this book I highly recommend Wells' The War of the Worlds.
