    Jules Verne

    Jules Verne (1828-1905) used a combination of scientific facts and his imagination to take readers on extraordinary imaginative journeys to fantastic places. In such books as Around the World in Eighty Days, From the Earth to the Moon, and Journey to the Center of the Earth, he predicted many technological advances of the twentieth century, including the invention of the automobile, telephone, and nuclear submarines, as well as atomic power and travel to the moon by rocket.

    • 3/5
      This was another decent Verne read. While the beginning was slow to get into, once you are locked in the story rolls along smooth and pleasingly. A fine tale that offers much for the imagination. This was still worth the read, although I consider it a lesser Verne novel.3 stars.
    • 4/5
      A slightly unusual Verne story that starts off as a supernatural tale, but turns out to be about experiments in electricity being used to frighten Transylvanian villagers and lure a love rival into a trap. Lightweight and engaging.
