beanevangelizer 's review for:

The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne
2.0

More interesting as an anthropological artifact than a novel. Extremely steeped in the imperialist attitudes of the late 19th century. Racist caricatures, the wanton slaughter of a wide variety of animals (mirroring the way these men's real-life counterparts behaved), and on top of that there's barely any plot. I've enjoyed the other Verne novels I've read much more than this one.
