![]() In thinking through the book, I can see that there are two ways to read it. I say ‘men’ because it is an all-male cast with not a single woman getting a look-in. The story is as simple as it gets: a group of men decide that they wish to fire a projectile to the moon. The version that actually arrived included the sequel, Around The Moon, which I shall be reading and reviewing shortly after this. It wasn’t terribly easy to get a hold of a copy of From the Earth to the Moon ( FTETTM) as none of the bookshops I looked in had in stock, so I had to get it ordered specially. Having read some of Verne’s books when I was a child and having seen some film adaptations of the books, I wanted to read one that I was unfamiliar with. ![]() This, then, is my attempt to remedy that situation. After publishing the list of books that I read last year, I received some admonishing from one reader who complained that there was a severe lack of Jules Verne in my fiction reading. ![]()
