A review by anniedrows
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne

4.0

This is a 3.5 for me. 4 for what it was. 3 for what it is.

Long and tedious. I expect that in the early twentieth century it would be compelling in its novelties and descriptions of aquatic natural history. But now, not so much.

Nemo’s hecatomb was repugnant, and reminiscent of more recent examples.

Why is every uneducated laborer inherently less than the professor and Captain Nemo?
