From the Earth to the Moon (French: De la Terre à la Lune) is a humorous science fantasy story written in 1865 by Jules Verne and is one of the earliest entries in that genre.

If you do not know this is part 1 of 2. You need to read Part 2 also. It is called,"Around the Moon"
Great story

Great story. Very well read by the volunteers. However chapter 25 the reader sounds like they are chewing gum, very irritating.
NOT BAD

But not great, either. Verne seems to take more side trips than in most of his novels. The story is, however, interesting in its approach to the launching of a space vehicle. I wonder if any of our space scientists even considered a cannon-like tube to aid in the initial direction of spacecrafts.
reader needs to project his voice

Avid listener but gave up after 2 chapters as the reader sounded like he was trying to read it quietly in a room as not to be heard by someone... greatly annoying as this is the only version.

Great reading! Not a fan as much for Sci Fi so this isn't my favorite Jules Verne book. Dated of course but not necessarily bad knowing what we know today and for a laugh.
Boring

I've read three other Verne books, and they were excellent. This one was wretchedly boring! It was so boring that I had difficulty focusing.

Good classic story. A little slow in areas. Some readers need to retire.
