Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne

adventurous informative mysterious slow-paced

I won't be writing a full review for this one, but let's just say that this classic and me REALLY didn't get along. I read Around The World In 80 Days last year and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it, so I decided to read more of Jules Verne's work. This ended up being Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, which sounded interesting enough as I love a travel element in my stories. What I didn't expect was for this story to be THIS boring and extremely tedious, filled with scientific talk and constant repetitions... I had to resort to skimreading multiple times, and I probably should have just DNFed it.
