EDITORIAL REVIEW

A mission to rid the seas of a monstrous creature becomes a terrifying nightmare when Professor Arronax, Conseil and Ned Land are thrown overboard. The huge marine animal which has haunted the water is no living beast, but a spectacular man-made vessel, and the three men find themselves the helpless prisoners of Captain Nemo. Resigned to their fate, they begin a miraculous journey on the submarine ship which can travel through waters never before explored. For the Professor, at least, this voyage is one he would not have missed for the world.

A true visionary
~ Written on Nov 21, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

I found this book interesting and wonder why I never read it before now. As an adult, I find found Jules Verne to be an amazing author - way ahead of his time. This book made me want to read more of Verne.

don't buy it

It's just a remake-get at the library, the real thing or support a current author...

Great aid to the real story.

We are reading the unabridged version to the kids and this is an indespensible aid for understanding the descriptive story. The pictures are great and very accurate to the descriptions. Historical notes put the story in context of when it was written (i.e. marvels at an electric engine, extant knowledge of sea life, predictions about underwater scuba gear). The kids can follow along in this while I read and the text is very close. I heartily recommend it as a reading aid.

Volume changes, two tapes not understandable
~ Written on Sep 11, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

I was hoping to introduce my teens to Jules Verne while traveling; so, I ordered the audio cassettes. However, on most of the tapes, the volume would suddenly go down to be almost inaudible. The quality of two of the cassettes was so bad that only about 1/4 of the tape could be understood.

A wonderful sea story.

What can I say about this book that hasn't already been said? There's a reason why it's a classic and why Jules Verne is still relevant after over one hundred years, he wrote some darn good stories! Every school child should read this book.
