Reader comments
I especially hate those selfish human characters who only think about their own interests and don't care about the life and death of others. But I also like the brave protagonists in the book who show their tenacious vitality and firm will in desperate situations. Overall, this is a science fiction novel worth reading!
A very vivid and beautiful novel, which is still as good as today. Fascinating and immersing me. If I had known, this would be a science fiction novel that would easily become outdated and boring. I have to say, it is better written than many "science fiction" books today.
To be honest, it might be a bit boring now, but that was the 19th century. I still remember the excitement I felt when I first encountered science fiction in elementary school and junior high school. In the 19th century, it was so sensational.
