Excellent reader

I really like Verne's works, but you can see where this story is headed from the start.
NEW SIDE OF VERNE
Avid Listener
A fun farce riddled with satire. We see much humor in Verne for a change All in all it was most enjoyable. It was also extremely well read.

The Docs Air Experiment
Keith Horvath
Original, interesting story based somewhat on science. A humourous one by Jules V.
Apparently Verne's publisher said "just write something",
A LibriVox Listener
The reader did the best he could with utter crap.
