This was my favorite book around when I was 10, and many characters were my imaginary friends that I took around town with me... The adventures were awesome, the characters were very realistic (I loved how close in age we were) and I must admit, my favorite parts were all the bickering and fighting scenes between the good ones and the mean ones. Tee hee. As another reviewer said, this is the only Jules Verne book I breezed through and re-read over a dozen times. I wish it was more popular now! (It's huge in Japan)

I was quite disappointed by what I remember as one of my favorite adventure stories of childhood. Fortunately my son found this book a delightful page-turner and thanked me for recommending this book. There must be a specific age when this kind of book is more appealing. I guess I lost my enthusiasm along with my innocence. I didn't like the pessimism of Lord of the Flies, but I don't appreciate the didactic and penitent tone of the story either.
