" Hands down, Jules Verne is my favourite author, but "From the Earth to the Moon" just didn't seem to have the same charm and wonder that classics like "20,000 Leagues..." and "Around the World..." had. Don't get me wrong, this is still an incredible book and the idea that this was written in the late 1800's, long before actual space travel came about; once again, like so many of his books, the similarities between the ideas he dreamed up and what actually came to be are simply uncanny. It's a good book, but to truly enjoy what Verne was capable of producing, it wouldn't be one of my first recommendations. "
