4.0

I personally take Verne novels as very silly stories about 19th century science and progress, absurdly patriotic about the British Empire and with very dubious scientific reasoning. This is no exception, since any and all happenings here are wildly unrealistic, though no less entertaining and are portrayed with the utmost seriousness.
It's the writing that really makes this book enjoyable and less so the plot or the characters.
