Jules Verne is considered the “Father of Science Fiction” because of the power of this–his most legendary novel.
“The year 1866 was signalised by a remarkable incident, a mysterious and puzzling phenomenon, which doubtless no one has yet forgotten. Not to mention rumours which agitated the maritime population and excited the public mind, even in the interior of continents, seafaring men were particularly excited. Merchants, common sailors, captains of vessels, skippers, both of Europe and America, naval officers of all countries, and the Goverments of several States on two continents, were deeply interested in the matter.
For some time past vessels had been met by ‘an enormous thing,’ a long object, spindle-shaped, occationally phosphorescent, and infinitely larger and more rapid in its movements than a whale.”
It is this “something” that Professor Aronnaz sets out to encounter–and thus starts the most incredible underwater journey ever. From Atlantis to the South Pole, the reader is taken through dangers, surprises, and the unsurpassed majesty of the marine world.

This book was TERRIBLE. I couldn’t even get past part one. Yes, there are two parts, and I am certain that the second half is just as terrible as the first. The whole tale was just describing Professor Aronnax’s daily life on the Nautilus, which was completely repetitive if you question me. The only SOMEWHAT appealing parts of the tale was when Professor Aronnax is in danger of being attacked by natives, but Jules Verne just HAS to say it in the most dull way. Jules Verne also spent entire pages describing really dull conversations between Captain Nemo and Professor Aronnax. These conversations were not only dull but confusing. Jules Verne used way to many technical words, in my opinion. Don’t get me incorrect- I have a huge vocabulary range, but that was ridiculous. And who cares about finding the Nautilus’s exact location on a map using latitude and longitude lines? Why couldn’t Jules Verne just say, “IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN?” If I were you, I would stay away from this book. Don’t even THINK about reading it, because you’ll just be bored to tears. I know you will, because I was. So just spare yourself from wasting days on end reading this book and take my advice.

Don’t get it. It was the worst $[amount] I ever spent on something. It has an impossible-to-follow tale line and a dull, dull, plot. Classical? Harry Potter’s more Classical than this. Save your $[amount], buy gum or something, I don’t know.
