From the Earth to the Moon

From the Earth to the Moon Verne, Jules Personal Library 185 pp. I believe Verne intended this book chiefly to be a satire of some people living at his time who were unable to accept the peaceful condition of the world. The Gun Club is nothing more than a group of disfigured and excitable old war mongers, who, since there was no war, needed to create some grand project as an outlet for their destructive energy. …

…Verne was. There are many sections that would require much research about astronomy, astronomical tools, and artillery. In conclusion, if you're looking for a great science fiction book, with a lot of satire and comedy, but also one with suspense and tension, then I highly recommend this book. It's a book that you can easily read in a short time since the language is relatively plain, and the story keeps you interested the entire time.
