Jules Verne
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.

More humor, intentional and accidental in this tale of prep and planning humanity’s first space voyage.

Great early literature.

What brings the book up are the characters. Verne always has some dynamic people. Most of the characters are from an American gun club who have decided they want to send a rocket to the Moon. To mix things up someone comes along who wants to go to the Moon on that rocket. They must change their calculations to accommodate him!
The newest television adaptation of Around the World in Eighty Days has a scene with a little boy talking about his model rocket. I loved this little mini tribute to this book and wonder if there are more such references.
I thought the narration was excellent.
Solidly good Verne story

typical Vern

Verne takes great care to make his version of the trip plausible -- and he gets close on many details. We can't just launch toward the Moon, we must meet it in space. Our ship must attain an escape velocity. The launch site selected is Tampa -- almost directly across the Florida peninsula from Kennedy Space Center.
Alas, this novel is actually a bit of satire, gently mocking the "can do" attitude of early Americans. He apparently wrote this during the US Civil War, and calls Americans "Yankees" throughout. The politics of America in those days would have made much of his story impossible.
At times it reads more like a diary than a novel, and at others it's more like an artillery manual.
Still, its an engaging book where we literally reach for the Moon.
The reader's performance is solid and kind of reminds me of a grandfatherly voice reading this tale to a child. His character voices are mostly effective, helping us keep track of the different characters.
If you are looking for a classic and willing to put yourself in the mindset of another time give From the Earth to the Moon a try.
