_ash0_ 's review for:
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
by Jules Verne
3.5 stars
Overall a really good book. But it became boring since more than half of the book is about the various animals and plants that he sees under water. It really got boring because of those elaborate descriptions.
==============================
He deserves the title - "Grandfather of science fiction".
HOLY MOLY! It came out in 1869 and this novel invented "Electric Submarines". Diving suits and compressed oxygen tanks were not even invented when this novel came out!!
Another invention from this book: Taser
Do I need to say more?!
UPDATED:
Watched the movie today. It deviated from the book a lot and was sometimes more interesting. But I liked the ending in the book, rather than that in the movie.
