Finished/Comments: (3355) From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne

Its been a while since I listened to this book and there was a greater difference between the book and the movie. In the movie but not in the book:

- no super explosive call "X" with the destructive power of a nuke. Therefore no challenge between Barracat and Nichols to test X against Nichols strongest armor.

- No female main character nor any mention of Nichols' family or daughter. Therefore no love affair between Nichols' daughter and Baracat's secretary.

- Nichols' doesn't sabotage the projectile or moon rocket.

- Barracat and Nichols don't land on the moon.
