Book Review: 20 000 Leagues Under the Sea

I suggest that as soon as you finish reading this review, GO READ THIS BOOK. It is an amazing novel and a classic.

Title: 20 000 Leagues Under the Sea
Author: Jules Verne  
Reviewer: Dennis 
Publisher: Random House 
Publication Date: January 28, 1985. 
Buy: Amazon || B&N || Kobo || Goodreads

Synopsis: French marine biologist Pierre Aronnax goes on a voyage led by the government to find the mysterious sea monster that has sunk and damaged several ships. When Aronnax, his servant, and Ned Land, a Canadian Harpooner (O Canada!), all fall overboard after a collision with the monster, they find that the "monster" is actually a very advanced submarine piloted by the mysterious Captain Nemo. They go on an adventure taking them to many different areas in the world. But who is Captain Nemo? And why is it that no one is allowed to leave the ship after they've been on it?

Review: This book is awesome. There is action, adventure, mystery and suspense. We learn a lot about underwater plants and animals. A LOT! As in, detailed information about every single fish, crab or plant. Simply because there were too many. Anyways, we never really learn too much about Captain Nemo. Conseil, the servant, seems to know just about everything Mr. Aronnax does. But still, GO READ THIS BOOK. IT IS GOOD. Very good. 5 surfboards out of 5.


Comments: Yesterday I got COD Black Ops 2. Yay! Hopefully I'll get a YouTube zombies video going. We'll also start doing things like minecraft and Gmod and other games :) Until next time!
