Summary: 3 men live on an underwater sub with a crazed captain.
Review: I absolutuly HATED this book. Only read it for school. IT is awful. STAY AWAY from this evil novel. no offence tended for the author. It was too discriptive and you have to look up half the words in the dictionary. This has 0 stars but I can only put 1.

Summary: It's a wonderful book!
Review: I like the story and drama in it. Jules Verne has written one of the classic of all books. Captain Nemo is a man who takes life seriously. The professor and his assistant and harpooner try to escape after their ship sinks and wind up on Nemo's submarine. It shows how they learn about their ocean surroundings and learn to work together to overcome a lot of hardships and their life troubles. It's a great book! Get it!

Summary: 20,000 Under The what?
Review: M. Arronax and his two companoins Ned Land and Conceil are taken captive on board the Nautalis. They see many magnificent sites. These sites include the lost countanant of atlantis, huge clams and pearls, sunken ships,the inside of a volcano, and much more. They also have many adventures. Id recommend this book to anyone who likes sci-fi and adventure stories. I do recommend reading it when you are in highschool. Read it and check it out!

Summary: Wonderful novel! A definate 5-star rating!
Review: I am 12 years old, but I throughly enjoyed this book. I would not recommend this novel for anyone under the age of 14, unless they are an extremely advanced reader, as I am. It is an exciting adventure under the sea, and perfect for any marine animal lovers. I have read other reviews, and several said the ending was disappointing. I strongly disagree with this. The ending was not disappointing, but it was slightly different from what I expected. And yes, I am 12. This is not a trick.

Summary: Long, but good!
Review: I read this for a report, and I was a bit upset that this long book was the only classic I had heard of left, but man, when I read it, I loved it. The only thing bad is the lenght, but if I haden't have tried to read the whole book the day before it was due, it wouldn't have been a problem. If u have ridden the ride at Disneyworld, you will like this too. I rate it ***AAA+++***

Summary: Boring
Review: The book is not a very good book from what I could thought. It concentrated to much on the petty issues of classifying the animals and not enough on the fast pased excitemaent that I like to read. It also paid to much attention to the lattitudes and longitudes .

Summary: Magnifique! J'adore le livre!
Review: This fascinating tale of horror and science fiction will enthrall you! Although aimed at a juvenile age, even adults can get something out of this classic story! Il est un livre super!

Summary: Living up to classical status
Review: This is the first book that I "experienced" from Jules Verne. He is certainly a master in mixing scientific facts with literary fiction. A true visionary. Although I have seen various movie versions, I was still surprised at some of the events in this story. The book seemed to move along well besides a relatively slow begining. It has everything a great story should have. Mystery, adventure, action, exotic locations and even a bit of romance, albeit it is with Nemo and the Sea. This particular version was an "audio book" performed by Harlan Ellison. His narration was inspired. I also enjoyed his voice characterizations, especially the impersonation of James Mason's Captain Nemo. It had a reminiscent quality. Music and sound effects would have been a nice touch as long as it wouldn't be distracting. For me, the book ended too quickly. I wanted to hear more of their adventures and would have also liked to have read more about Nemo's past. Although, Verne does tell us more in "The Mysterious Island". Another book I shall look forward in taking up soon. I am sure it will be an equally pleasing experience.

Summary: urk...
Review: Okay, maybe I shouldn't be so mean to a "classic", but I found this book quite insufferable. I suppose it's unfair to judge it my modern standards, but I will anyway. I found the policy of our heroes attempting to kill any animal they possibly could more than a little disturbing: when the book mentioned dolphins and sea otters the thought that flashed through my head was "talking stag". Not only that, but the book's bloody boring! It consists of many vague, unfocused, and quite unconnected episodes that never evoked any interest whatsoever. I would not have finished this book if I hadn't been reading it for a class. Geesh... Study question: Ned and Conseil: lovers?
Rating:
Summary: Excellent choice for adventure lovers; fast and gripping
Review: This book is incredibly rich with colour and excitement. Featuring the ever-curious Professor Annorax, his trusty servant Conseil, Captain Ned Land, and the inscrutable Captain Nemo, this composition s quite a masterpiece. ( This book, though, has not yet received the popularity and acceptance it deserves.) Read this book once, because once is enough, if you want to experience a realistic world of adventure.
