kara_mom 's review for:
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
by Jules Verne
I wish I had done more research about translators before starting (I just picked up a copy I had on hand). Mine was translated by Philip Schuyler Allen.
I would like to give this book three and a half stars. The various locations visited around the world are fantastic -- I spent a lot of time looking up their history, which was fascinating. I could have done without the seemingly endless taxonomy and inventory of sea creatures.
I would love to read some literary analysis of the parallels to the Odyssey, as well as character development/foils. And of course what drove Nemo to choose his life away from civilization.
