Rating: Summary: THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!!! Review: It is unbelievable to me that someone could give this book a bad review! I have nothing bad to say about it. It is a timeless classic of science fiction and a very interesting read. I read it first when I was twelve and it immediately became my favorite book. If you loved James Joyce's A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man and are looking for something on that level, look elsewhere. If you want to read about a spectacular and fascinating undersea adventure, however, This is your book. I would especially recommend this book to students in the 12-14 age bracket.
Rating: Summary: Book to stir the imagination Review: I liked many things about this book. The author, Jules Verne, is very good at describing and harnessing the imagination of the reader. He made the story very interesting too. It's amazing, to me, how much of this fiction book is quite accurate. I didn't dislike much of the book except many times Verne got so descriptive that he stayed on the same subject for up to 5 pages. Which in turn tired me of the book. Other than that I enjoyed the book immensely. I'd recommend this book to everyone for hope that they will realize when this book was written and take into account how much imagination was put into it. If people only learn one thing from this book, it should be to have an imagination
Rating: Summary: Good... Is this a good idea? Review: O.K. I'm not good at summaries but its a good playbook for kids. Interesting and it has good beginning pictures.

Rating: Summary: It's a classic! Review: For those who read the book for a school assignment and didn't like it, just remember that it has been in continual print for 120 years! Think anybody will know who Steven King is in 120 years? It is a timeless classic of Western Literature. I reserve 5 star ratings for authors such as Dickens, Melville, Verne, Dumas and Defoe. I have not read anything by a contemporary author which diserves 5 stars although some come close.
Rating: Summary: OKay......I Guess Review: At some times it was incredibly boring, with all this technology stuff, but at certain points it was interesting. And over all itwaas okay, but I wouldn't be caught reading it again.
Rating: Summary: 20,000 Leagues.... Review: I had to read this book for a Summer Reading Project, and I felt that this book was very advanced. By saying advanced, I mean that Verne was very modern in his thinking and ideas, being that this book was written quite a while ago. I think that it's a good book for everyone to read. It's a fast read, too.
Rating: Summary: It was so boring. Review: Do not buy this book. It is a waste of your money. If you buy this book ,it will sit somewhere and never go to use ,even if you just read the first 2 pages you will be disgusted.
Rating: Summary: Seen the movie? Now read the book! Review: One of Jules Verne's finest. The movie does the book no justice. You also get ten times the number of adventures seen in the movie. Heck, I was so involved in it, I finished it in only 2 1/2 days! Read this book.
Rating: Summary: The visionary Verne......... Review: Verne was anachronous to his era. But, better that he was. Because the most amazing element of this work, more than the astounding genius and limitless creativity, was the fact it was penned in the latter stages of the 19th centruy. Some highlights: the undersea walks, Atlantis, and the attack of the cuttle-fish. There's many more, though; you could do worse than reading this book and discovering it's hidden treasures for yourself. There may be perhaps a bit too much of 'zoophytes' in it, but the book will hold it's own as a classic, regardless. For Verne's prowess was not how he told his stories, but WHEN. One final note: was Captain Nemo a villian, or simply a good guy who went too far? A megalomaniac, that Nemo.
