A review by lordofthemoon
Round the Moon by Jules Verne

2.0

The sequel to [b:From the Earth to the Moon|32827|From the Earth to the Moon|Jules Verne|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168393884s/32827.jpg|1902242] focuses on the projectile carrying our three brave Selenauts and resolves the cliffhanger left at the end of its predecessor. This one, unfortunately, fell somewhat flat. It didn't have the humour nor even the action of FtEttM. It felt quite flat, and lecture-like at times, and although a lunaphile may be delighted with its descriptions, I found myself skipping over them in an attempt to get to a good bit that never materialised. It's worth reading to complete the story and since it's quite short, but it didn't grab me at all.
