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. It tells the story of three well-to-do members of a post-American Civil War gun club who build an enormous sky-facing columbiad and ride a spaceship fired from it to the moon.

Great story. Very well read by the volunteers. However chapter 25 the reader sounds like they are chewing gum, very irritating.

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.

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

Great story, but sometimes my eyes glazed over with the copious detail.
