Publisher's Summary

The War of the Rebellion is over, and the members of the American Gun Club, bored with inactivity, look around for a new project. At last they have it: "We will build the greatest projectile the world has ever seen and make the moon our 38th state!"

When From the Earth to the Moon was published in 1865, it was regarded as pure fantasy. Who could imagine a rocket that would carry men and animals through space? Today, like so many of Jules Verne's prophecies, space travel is a reality. Here's a fun adventure story that shows how Verne, with foresight that is at times almost eerily accurate, envisioned a trip to the moon.

Weird as all get out

Weird, but entertaining.
The end made me belly laugh.
Honestly Jules Verne can do no wrong, his books are all amazing.

Not Bad

Took a bit to get into but found in it the typically Vernian style I was looking for. The ending seemed almost curt, would have preferred another chapter or 2. Performance was overall okay, but there are points I cringed at a voice or heard too many mouth noises. Overall i enjoyed the book and would recommend to those interested in a new Vernian Adventure however I probably wont be re-listening to this novel
