Cool ideas but poor ending that skips the resolution of the predicament! (A la "and then I woke up, and it was all a dream"). Bit boring.

I wanted to love this book - I wanted to delve into adventure upon the high seas. It started wonderful, I was invested - was it a large sea creature shipwrecking and destroying boats??? No it was just an idiot with no compassion and no character driving a boat. So, why did I read the whole thing it if was that bad, AND I gave it a unusual 1 Star?? Because I had to read it for my other YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/@storeiswithannabelle and so I gritted my teeth through the millions of Latin names, classifications and the harpooner's endless grinding of his teeth and angst.

Perhaps I'll never read Verne again. Perhaps I will venture to the Journey to the Centre of the Earth since I recently visited the volcano that inspired it... maybe not though I am scarred for life.
