Review of Scientific Adventures of Baron Munchausen

This was an interesting book. It's a very dry read but filled with some pretty interesting ideas. The author mixes fact with science fiction, and even tells the reader which is which at times, but some of it comes off as a Grade 3 history lesson by todays standards so I found myself just speed reading the first few chapters. Once the hero gets to Mars then I found the book to be a lot better. For 1915 this must have astounded a lot of readers though and I would have been hooked to sci-fi back then after reading this. A true gem! Not the best sci-fi book I've read but it's well worth a buy for sure if you like classic sci-fi.
