20000 Leagues Under the Sea

Summary: Very Hard to understand.
Review: I gave this book this raiting because it was hard to understand. The words were very hard and I didn't know any of them. The book did have a good plot but they made it to hard to know what it meant. This book did teach us about sea life, which was the ONLY thing in my opinion. I would only reccomend this book for highschoolers.

Summary: 20000 leagues under the sea
Review: i read the other reviews by other people, and almost all of them missed the point. the book did not have many major action points, but it is not a tom clancy novel. it did teach some about undersea life, but it is not a text book. jules verne wrote books from his imagination. this book was published in 1870. underwater travel was a joke. it was possible, but most people did not know this. i read this book when i was 10 or 11, so it has been a while, but i remember being completely ingrigued, myself knowing probably everything jules verne did about undersea travel. i honestly don't remember much other than the major points of the plot, only that i loved the book, and the extensive explanations only served to deepen the insight and wonder into not only the book, but the mastermind behind it.

Summary: A Classic Tale of Underwater Adventure
Review: Jules Verne is widely recognized as the father of science fiction, and "20000 Leagues Under the Sea" is his most famous work. This fantastic tale of the adventures of an under-sea craft (written BEFORE their actual invention) fires the imagination of readers young and old. Verne's genius was his ability to create incredible (in his time) machines, around which he'd write believable stories with admirable characters and meaningful morals. As with the submarine Nautilus, many of his machines have since become modern realities.

Summary: this book rocks
Review: ok its a good book with a plot that a 3rd grader can understand i know this because i read it in second grade so a 3rd grader should have an easier time. and as far as the word that someone complained about you need to read context clue plus they are not that hard. this is a good book and show the predictions that Verne made. like scuba diving and nuclear power in the 1860's. and btw thats scuba diving with tanks of oxygen and thin wet suits to keep you warm truely he was a genious. i would buy this book read the whole book 3 times during the year but only when i am boged down or i have trouble with my studies.

Summary: ....
Review: Personally, I enjoyed the book tremendously. The author dived into the action pretty quickly, and it took me just a few pages to get to the excitement. By the way, I'm reading the unabridged version, so correct me if I'm wrong. I would have preferred more action-packed scenes and adventure in the book cos' on the whole, it was pretty stale.........

Summary: Too Long and Dull
Review: This book started off ok. I mean there was a good intro but after that nothing seemed to happen. Dont get me wrong, there were like two scenes of action but they were really short and lasted maybee a page. And it was a long book so there were huge spaces in the book where nothing happened.

Summary: An underwater adventure
Review: When you consider that Mr. vernes wrote this undersea adventure about a submarine, when steam engines were the rage. And underwater boat was unheard of. By todays standards the book is not very exciting, but for its time it is very adventerous. The endless cataloging of the undersea life and the operation of the submarine all come out of the autor's head. There is one thing to note that I first read this book in grammer school and just re-read it. It is a shame that what was once considered a childrens book, has vocabulary that most of the Worlds High School students can not understand.
