Interesting story line with a plot that folds out slowly. The details were cumbersome to read, however, perhaps it is the writing style rather than the depth of description that repels us youthies of America. Characters are honest and loveable, even with the blantant racism. I think Verne knew this and wrote in the Civil War theme of the "colonists" cheering for the Northern Home Team and embracing the ideals of equality.
