Review:
This book was surprisingly good with how unknown it is. Compared to WotW, The Invisible Man, and The Time Machine, this one is virtually unknown. I really enjoyed it, but ended up skimming the ending mainly because I wasn’t interested. The story itself is amazing! I really liked how imaginative it all is. Definitely a fun, lighthearted read.

Topic:
This is the story of a mad scientist teaming up with an ex-business turned playwright creating a machine to get to the moon. Their findings are rather imaginative, but what happens afterwards is quite a twist.

CW:
Minor Language: A** 6 or so times
Minor Violence: Brief mention of suicide; Death/Murder; Injury;
