Off on a Comet

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4,329 Sterne; 73 Bewertungen)

The story starts with a comet that touches the Earth in its flight and collects a few small chunks of it. Some forty people of various nations and ages are condemned to a two-year-long journey on the comet. They form a mini-society and cope with the hostile environment of the comet (mostly the cold). The size of the 'comet' is about 2300 kilometers in diameter - far larger than any comet or asteroid that actually exists. (Summary by Wikipedia) (11 hr 11 min)

Bravo!

(5 Sterne)

Great tale from a greater author

Loved it!!

(5 Sterne)

Once you get past the fact that this could never happen it is an amazing book!! I love how most Jules Verne's books invoke your imagination. Also the readers did an amazing job!! Especially Kirby Bonds and Esther.

Every vile antisemetic stereotype!

(2 Sterne)

I generally enjoyed this tale despite the unbelievable premise. That's often the fun of Sci Fi. However, the "bad guy" in the story is a Jewish merchant, and short of accusing him of killing gentile babies and using their blood to make Passover matzoh, he uses every vile antisemetic stereotype in describing him. Yes, I know, literature needs to be looked at through the lens of the times in which it was written, but this is really too much.

fun story

(4 Sterne)

narration is inly om, some very poor audio quality. story is fun but bey far fetched. a typical jules verne of the era

ANOTHER UNIQUE ADVENTURE

(3,5 Sterne)

Verne produces another sci-fi scenario which stands alone. The ending is blah, but the story is intetesting, if not compelling.

(5 Sterne)

Very well read, thanks. I am so amazed at the genius of Vern.

Jules Verne!

(5 Sterne)

Nothing like a great classic delivered by the superb readers.

(5 Sterne)

Another amazing story by Jules Verne!!
