A review by rosekk
Round the Moon by Jules Verne, Fiction, Fantasy & Magic by Jules Verne

2.0

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.
