This book was TERRIBLE. I couldn’t even get past part one. Yes, there are two parts, and I am certain that the second half is just as bad as the first. The whole story was just describing Professor Aronnax’s daily life on the Nautilus, which was completely repetitive if you ask me. The only SOMEWHAT interesting parts of the story was when Professor Aronnax is in danger of being attacked by natives, but Jules Verne just HAS to say it in the most boring way. Jules Verne also spent entire pages describing totally boring conversations between Captain Nemo and Professor Aronnax. These conversations were not only boring but confusing. Jules Verne used way to many technical words, in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong- I have a big vocabulary range, but that was ridiculous. And who cares about finding the Nautilus’s exact location on a map using latitude and longitude lines? Why couldn’t Jules Verne just say, “IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN?” If I were you, I would stay away from this book. Don’t even THINK about reading it, because you’ll just be bored to tears. I know you will, because I was. So just spare yourself from wasting days on end reading this book and take my advice.

Don’t get it. It was the worst $[amount] I ever spent on something. It has an impossible-to-follow story line and a boring, boring, plot. Classical? Harry Potter’s more Classical than this. Save your $[amount], buy gum or something, I don’t know.
