so-soWoohee…the book itself is ok. You know how sometimes a character asks a question just so someone else can show off in their answer, to show off how smart the author is? Welcome to this book. “I‘m Jules Verne and I did tons of marine research for this book so here it is” info dump, over and over. The voyage itself was actually interesting, but it was maybe 20% of the book. No idea how this is a “classic,” TBH. 👇🏻
ravenlee This audio version specifically is a mess. Chapters out of order is the least of it. Worst narrator ever. She mispronounced everything! Including salmon, incomparable, and Glasgow 😳. Also, for some inexplicable reason she gave Ned Land, Canadian, specifically from Quebec, this weird hillbilly accent?! I can‘t even… 4h
ravenlee My biggest complaint about the book itself is the ending. Very much like Verne couldn‘t figure out how to get out of the corner he painted himself into regarding Nemo, so he just…didn‘t. Irritating. 4h

Ruthiella I agree. I must have read an abridged version as a child because when I reread it as an adult, I was so BORED by the endless description… I remember liking Mysterious Island a lot, which is kind of a sequel (to Nemo‘s story, not the Professor‘s). (edited) 2h
