From the Earth to the Moon

Oh, God... I don't know what to even say... First off I read other Jules Verne books like “20000 leagues under the sea”, “Around the world for 80 days” and “Five weeks in a balloon” and I liked them. I gave them like 4 stars... But this one, it's different. I, maybe it's that I was younger than or something, or this book is just made different. Basically, it's a sci-fi written in 1800s. It must have been wild back then when people thought space travel was impossible, now it's just “let's see if he predicted anything and if it will be hilarious how wrong he was”. I mean seriously I like reading old and classics... It was soooo slow and boring. I mean it took me months to read (obviously I didn't read this every day or often but it was that slow that I didn't want to even pick it up, I just pressured myself because I got it from the library and had to return it... don't worry the librarian won't kill me for it being late, lol) Nothing seemed to happen. It was too telling not showing. It got into bizarre technical details it was death... I mean it was even more deadly to see the wrong science... I mean sure I don't blame him, he was pretty creative in how he imagined it to be. There was some stuff that made sense or was funny. It seemed pretty nationalistic. It was racist, obvi. But other than that, it's OK for a classic. If you're such a diehard Jules Verne fan, sure read this. If you're interested in oldish sci-fi, OK. If you expect this to be a fun, short adventure... NO! That's all I gotta say. 2.5/5
