This is my first Jules Verne novel, and I actually just finished it earlier today. I must add my initial opinion; I did find Part 1 rather slow in the scheme of things, but I kept at it and all through Part 2 and Part 3 the story was damn enjoyable.
That's good to hear, as I thought Part 1 was a bit boring and Part 2 is not that much of an improvement so far.

Is anyone disappointed by the lack of giant crabs and chickens?

Spoiler tags please! If people know there are no giant crabs and chickens, they might not finish the book!

Good thing there's a car chase scene at the end ...

Well, the movie version had giant chickens but for some odd reason left out the car chases.
