A review by isobelline
In Search of the Castaways; or the Children of Captain Grant by Jules Verne

Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.

I really doubt that Jules Verne is a good writer. If I wanted to read scientific notes on different weather phenomena, animal species and geographical history, I would have read Wikipedia. I didn't find the story particularly fascinating, some parts of it were awfully didactic (especially the bits with Robert and his "learning to become a real man", that was really lame). I was hoping to find the characters charming and likeable (as they are presented in fanfiction about this book) but that was not the case.
