Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne

3.0

I must confess that I really had no idea what this book was about other than a submarine. I'm not sure where I got it from, but I was under the impression that this book was about fighting sea monsters and whatnot. While there is a giant squid that makes for a pretty cool scene. The rest of the book is just kind of boring explanation of science stuff. Don't get me wrong, I don't look down my nose at science, but there was a whole unexplored world to play with and they spend so much time talking about things that are putting me to sleep. I know he was a visionary, and one of the founding fathers of the Sci-Fi genre, but sweet lord shorten it up. I still liked it, despite that fact, because it was so far ahead of its time it's mind boggling. Not my favorite of Verne's books.
