As a kid I wanted to be a marine biologist and this book was my Bible and reason for wanting to do so. I loved the adventure and Captain Nemo and still do…but with the glasses of adulthood you are better able to see the flaws in things you once loved without prejudice. This book is flawed. The first 200 pages are great and interesting, but then afterwords it drags … and that’s not including the fact that there is some racism in there too (the illustrator is also guilty of this too) with relation to indigenous/POC people. Captain Nemo is a compelling character, but also sometimes can be seen as a villain (interesting how he’s always played by white men in brown/black face in every movie iteration ever) which isn’t bad, but it’s sad seeing a character you idolized so brought down to heel. Otherwise, a nice revisit to a class I loved.
