This was another great, short novel by Verne. I felt attached to the characters and the setting was very well described and put into focus for me, as a reader, to sink into. There is much adventure and it is carried on well through the prose, one event leading to the next in a seamless sort of fashion (organized still) that makes it a good read. Overall, a surprisingly good one that I recommend that you don't skip if you want to get into Verne.

3.75 stars! ( )

Vorbild für die Zwilligs-Detektive in "Tim und Struppi", den "Selbstmörder-Club" von Jack London und bestimmt etliche Filmdrehbücher; eigentlich nur eine Werbebroschüre für die luftisolierten Skaphander-Anzüge mit eigenem Segelantrieb; fand ich nicht so spannend wie etliche andere Verne-Bücher ( )
