This is one of Verne's better books. It's evenly paced, with believable characters, and balanced dialogue.However, it suffers from the same malady as all his books do, that it was padded out with unnecessary facts until in stretches it tends to read like a museum tour guide.Still, it's an enjoyable read and also made a decent movie.
