This is truly great science fiction, and in a lot of ways a little under appreciated compared to other of Wells' works. Probably the reason for this is that the concept of the book is a little silly based on what we know of the moon and the universe today. But if you can take yourself back, and read this in the perspective of someone alive in 1901 when this book was first published, you'll find it exciting, engaging and very well constructed.
