Critiques


(5 stars)

Great novel! Jules Verne always delivers!


(3 stars)

good book of the times, though I had to skip some readers, missing sections and the end completely... The last reader is monotonous and impossible to listen to, and there's a guy near middle that reads every three words and stops like captain Kirk.

Great Story Great readers
