Product Description:
Originally published in 1870, Verne’s amazing undersea adventure is one of the earliest science fiction novels ever written. Since that time, generations of readers have plunged below the ocean’s waves with Captain Nemo and his first-ever submarine, The Nautilus. It’s a voyage of exploration and the imagination.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Jules Verne deserves his title as the father of science fiction!
As much an underwater travelogue as it is a sci fi/steampunk classic, Jules Verne takes us around the world, thru the depths of the ocean with the enigmatic Captain Nemo at the helm. Narrated by a Professor Arronax, a French naturalist accidentally swept into the world of Captain Nemo, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea is thought to be an allusion to Homer's Odyssey- and I suppose it is- but it's theme of one man's defiance of humanity, especially after being disappointed and devastated by it, is a theme ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Biology 101
I've always been interested in reading the classics. Just the exposure to new genres is beneficial to a reader's development in my opinion. I must admit that this book did nothing for me. It reminded me of studying my biology books in college with the lists of fish and aquatic life seen outside. I can see how others might enjoy it, but it dragged a bit for me.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A clas-sick that made me sick
This book was very boring. very few moments in the book are actually exciting and they are few and far between. The beginning of the book is the best part. It spent too much time explaining and describing images; i felt like the whole book could be cut in half and you would still get the majority of the story across to the readers



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Challenging but beautiful.
The original story is lush with great vocabulary and detailed description, a little work, but well worth it. I'm reading it aloud to my 10, 9, and 6 year olds. The DK illustrated abridgement is a good supplement too.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 20,000 Leagues in a Utopia
Regular readers of [...] won't be surprised to learn that the first book I read on the Kindle was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. There's something so right about reading a century-old tale -- whose narrator is enthralled with the power of electricity -- on a device that's a pretty darn enthralling use of electricity.

That said, in exploring how the image of technology and the future has changed over time, few books are as influential as this one. Some observations:
