Lots of action happens but I was just so bored. Even with David Tennant (love him) narrating the audiobook.

Pacy and well written. Ominous and tense. I can see why this had such a big impact at the time.

This book is proof that it doesn’t matter how old a book is, as long as it’s good, it can be enjoyed and has the power to transport you to the author’s era. Considering it’s a book from the end of the 1800s, and given the technology that existed back then, it’s amazing how creative and simple the author was in conveying his ideas. I thought I wouldn't enjoy it much after seeing several movies based on this book, but I was wrong. I really enjoyed it and consider it a great science fiction classic that you should read at least once if you like science fiction.
