A review by seano312
Vingt mille lieues sous les mers by Jules Verne
4.0
This is a classic book, and I'm really glad I read the Walter translation (which prides itself on being accurate.)
The story is well-known, but I think I'm not the target audience for this novel. This, like Moby Dick, is a novel of the sea and spends pages and pages describing the types of plants and animals below the waves.
Unfortunately I don't know a wrasse from a triggerfish so a lot of the details were lost on me. I think an annotated version (with hotlinks to pictures of the fish and plants described) would be great.
