Wow, that went fast. Short and sweet, I appreciate that. I downloaded this book because it was free and because I knew Jules Verne writes a lot of famous sci-fi. This wasn't sci-fi, it was a little story about a boat and it's passengers during America's civil war. It wasn't overly original or interesting, or exciting, but it was just so short that it was kind of cute. :p A neat little package that moved so swiftly and innocently (everything goes right for these well meaning folks) that I actually enjoyed reading it, without really putting my finger on any valuable reason. Even though it's old, I liked the treatment of the woman character-not too weak, timid, or stupid-she goes on a bit of an adventure to save her father.

Short and sweet, that mostly sums it up.
