corvinaq's review against another edition
4.0
The sequel is another book of wonderful buoyancy and optimism. Our heroes have been shot from a cannon in the direction of the moon, but *spoiler* some space debris knocks them off course! As a result their projectile (and all the chickens, dogs, vineyard seedlings that are in it) ends up as the moon's satellite. Eventually they shoot off some rockets and make it back to earth, landing in the ocean. Huzzah! I thought this book was lovely, and especially enjoyed the image of the travelers playing dominoes as they are fished from the sea.

Straightforward conclusion to from the earth to the moon. The Baltimore Gun Club finishes their adventure.

Most of this story was conversation between the three main characters. Only one of those characters struck me as particularly appealing. Of the other two one was annoying, and not very believable, and the other was just bland. Usually they were talking about theories of what might happen as a result of some scientific theory, which was only very distantly related to the plot. I therefore found it quite dull. Since the plot rests on something that happens as a result of a miscalculation, none of the actual events of the story really require any input from the people in the story. Since I quite liked the first half of the story (where the rocket to the moon is built) I was quite disappointed in this 2nd half.

Not as mathy as the previous book, From the Earth to the Moon, and not as boring either but it was still a bit boring. Since they could only make observations from their capsule it's really just a lot of talking about the topography of the moon and what not.

The second part of the journey to the moon, told with such precision as one has the impression of seeing the first lunar orbit of Apollo VIII with many advances. This extraordinary journey is an absolute pleasure, like [b:From the Earth to the Moon|32827|From the Earth to the Moon|Jules Verne|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1389545038l/32827._SY75_.jpg|14165539].
