20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and other Classic Novels by Jules Verne
3.0
It’s an adventure book on a submarine. The adventures are fun, the science he came up with was great. He was able to set scenery and animals fantastically.
Unfortunately for such a classic book I expected more. There is very little character development and it seems like he introduces an adventure and then hits fast forward and it’s over. The ending was very underwhelming. I feel like all the characters lacked development. Nemo was very interesting but we never really get to know why.
It had some fun moments and you can tell why it’s so pivotal to the genre. I feel like ther book does not measure up to other classics like H.G Well’s books. I think the book would have been better if it was longer so he could fully flesh out characters and plot. It was a fine read and you could see how this book setup other science fiction and oceanic books.
