If possible find an original edition. I was lucky to find one in the public library. Two years ago I wanted to purchase a copy for myself. I found one, it was a very bad copy. it looked like someone at a computer copied it without regar do proper cutting, pasting or word processing. I regreted spending the money for it. However, I still have vivid memories of my feelings as I read the first copy. loved it. Hope to find a good copy this time.

This was very short, it took me less than 40 minutes to read it. The tale was interesting enough, but not one of Verne's best works. I wouldn't go out of your way to buy it, but if someone has it laying around you might as well give it a shot.

I was expecting a more "supernatural" story like Journey to the Center of the Earth, but this was an OK read for a quick book.
