krod97's review against another edition
I just CANNOT get myself to care. I’ve had this book since I was in middle school and constantly tried to read it. I made it about halfway before deciding not to put myself through the misery anymore. I know it’s a classic, but I just can’t do this to myself anymore.

DNF at idk how much percent but it was before the middle.
Honestly, I liked the vibes, the part of the story I saw and I dare to say I even liked the characters. But the writing style, the details, all the terminology - I couldn't get through that. My brain didn't cooperate with this book but I hope one day I'll try to read it again and understand and enjoy it better.

It’s an adventure book on a submarine. The adventures are fun, the science he came up with was great. He was able to set scenery and animals fantastically.
Unfortunately for such a classic book I expected more. There is very little character development and it seems like he introduces an adventure and then hits fast forward and it’s over. The ending was very underwhelming. I feel like all the characters lacked development. Nemo was very interesting but we never really get to know why.
It had some fun moments and you can tell why it’s so pivotal to the genre. I feel like ther book does not measure up to other classics like H.G Well’s books. I think the book would have been better if it was longer so he could fully flesh out characters and plot. It was a fine read and you could see how this book setup other science fiction and oceanic books.

This together with "The Deep Blue" by Arthur C Clark made me so impressed about the underwater blue world during my middle school period.
