Reviews
KitttKatty
Great novel! Jules Verne always delivers!
Phyzic
good book of the times, though I had to skip some readers, missing sections and the end completely... The last reader is monotonous and impossible to listen to, and there's a guy near middle that reads every three words and stops like captain Kirk.
Great Story Great readers
