From the Earth to the Moon (French: De la Terre à la Lune) is a humorous science fantasy story written in 1865 by Jules Verne and is one of the earliest entries in that genre.

Great reading! Not a fan as much for Sci Fi so this isn't my favorite Jules Verne book. Dated of course but not necessarily bad knowing what we know today and for a laugh.


(4 stars)

Good classic story. A little slow in areas. Some readers need to retire.

Great story, but sometimes my eyes glazed over with the copious detail.
