Weekly Book Wrap Up
20000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules VerneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Entertaining underwater science fiction. Lots of info dumps but they never came across as boring or unneeded. Very visual story telling but the famous scene everyone thinks of, the one with the giant squid, was almost a blink and you will miss it part of the book. I would say the scene with the Sperm whales is more memorable then the big squid.

glad you liked this classic.
ReplyDeleteI remember that one. I actually loved Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne...one of my favourite books as a pre-teen.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible imagination Verne possessed. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteChristine, I am glad too since I need to read a lot more older books for class :)
