20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Heather Hammond, Jules Verne

4.0

---

This is a really fantastic adventure book. I was expecting the book and the scientific concepts in it to be out of date but I was pleasantly surprised. Verne certainly knew what he was writing about. The descriptions in this book about underwater life are so beautiful that one wishes they could have been there in person. Most of the scientific concepts explained in this book are quite ahead in times. The language is lucid and the characters are memorable and they stick with you for a long time after finishing reading. Captain Nemo is the perfect example of a human being torn by logic and emotions at the same time. This is a really amazing book to be read by science fiction fans.
