The Last Kind Words
From the Earth to the Moon
Usually i enjoy Jules Verne's work but i'm afraid From the Earth to the Moon just wasn't very good.The first half of the book seems to be all Verne's workings on how a rocket could be fired to the moon using a giant cannon...
It just gets bogged down in too much detail: the development, the planning, the building by this time i just didnt care if the rocket would take off or not.
