A review by hahavocado
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and other Classic Novels by Jules Verne
1.0
I hate to say it but I'd rate it 1 star.
It's hard to read, and reading it does not feel enjoyable because it is dry. I felt like I was reading a science textbook, not a sci-fi promoted to be a classic. I expected some crazy and fun adventures under the water, not some dudes chilling around in a submarine (I have only read about half of it and had to give up). Other than that, it is quite ahead of its time, to be honest, and I'll give it the credit for that, given it was written in 1870. This is my subjective review, you may like it if you want some very detailed description of the machineries and explanations of scientific facts. But not for a fiction girlie like me.
