Would enjoy it more if we got a bit more insight into Nemo probably. Overall a pretty good sci-fi for its time. If youre a fan of the ocean and the seas you will enjoy it. Also the science in it pretty cool

Review: 1.5 / 5 stars
It's important to remember that this book was written in 1870. Novels were just written differently and details and how they were described was different.
However, with that being said, my all time favorite book is the Count of Monte Cristo.
To me, I really struggled with the enormity of the details in sections of the book that felt..... irrelevant. I firmly believe this could have been a novella with 1/4th less content and it would have been much better overall.
Without giving anything away, that's all I will get into detail on.
Why was it given more than 1 star? Because I listened to the audio version and I felt Frederick Davidson did a great job with the narration, the different characters and really did a great job capturing the main character. I also felt that the overall story of Captain Nimo and his adventures were interesting; but if I had to read this book I would definitely not finished.
Classics I find are always hit and miss, but this one just really scraped by.
