From the Earth to the Moon 21 reviews Jules Verne
Aegypan, 2006
A Science Fiction Classic
+ From the Earth to the Moon - teacher's prespective + And interesting ride...
Jules Verne, the father of science fiction, made several predictions
that came true in this book. The book is exciting from cover to cover.
It deserves more credit than it seems to be getting. It was written over
one hundred years ago. I would recommend this book to any science fiction

I thought that the book had one of the best plot lines I've ever seen, reguardless of the fact that there is only slight building up to the climax. The only thing that I didn't think was that good about the book was that about every other page, Jules Verne would go into a paragraph description of ...
