I haven't read much of his works, but I know a lot of the stories. I like them a lot. When I was a kid , I used to imagine that I would someday when I grow up, build my own awesome submarine. I used to imagine all the different rooms it would have and how amazing it would be, and all the modern inventions it would have, as well as many of my own ideas for cool new inventions, especially ones utilizing magnetism. Physics and advanced submarines go together great! And they are still fun to think about.

I read most of his books in my childhood and this was one of my favorite.

This book. Right here. I had never read any with this sort of adventure. In the sea, all of those names of sea life, the type of life the people led, great.

One of my favorite books.

“Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea” is a classic novel that has endured as a wonderful read since the 1860s when it was published. This science fiction novel is informative, imaginative, and compelling to readers with an interest in adventures to worlds unknown, especially on our own world. The reader must stay with the storyline to get the entire effect that Jules Verne was writing about.

The classification of sea animals through the book in vivid detail was interesting at first but after the second and third time of listing detailed descriptions, scientific classifications, and sizes of mollusks, fish, and cetaceans, the descriptions become something you want to skim over to get back to the storyline. The reader can be bored by these details but just as you are about to abandon the book, Mr. Verne excites the reader with battles with giant squids, prisons of ice, and underwater forests ripe with hunting potential.

I’ve personally noticed with many classic novels that the writers LOVE details and descriptions so I ask that any potential readers admire that quality and pay attention to the dialogue and settings represented by numerous cultures and classes of people in these wonderful time-capsules.

I read Vernes' books as a kid and I think as a science fiction author he was way ahead of his times or that he kind of propelled imagination in science. I really enjoyed this book and Verne's ability to completely teleport the reader to a different, exciting, and also scary at times, underwater world was impressive. I would recommend it to every teen.

Jules Verne is a fantastic author for families to discover and explore A forward thinker with a great imagination, Verne writes about adventures that take readers anywhere from the center of the earth, to outer space, to the depths of the sea. As a teacher I loved recommending his work. Verne inspired many inventions; I suggested to GT students: as a family, you could investigate which of his literary inventions came true.

I recently read this to my son. It was the first time I had ever read it. We loved it!

I liked it but I think the original version is a bit deep for most kids these days.

verne is the best author i could find to read classic scifi , he may have inspired many of the minds of his day and even now impress us .the concept of a self sustaining submarine was alien to the minds of people those days.

The copy of this book I read was extremely old (yellowed pages, pages falling out), but I always think of this book as full of color. I love the descriptions Verne uses in his writing. I haven't read any of his other works yet, but I do want to. This was a really fun read.

This is one of my favourite books and I absolutely love it. The way he describes the sea life is completely spellbinding

I loved the book especially since I like books about adventure. The way Jules Vene has described advancements well ahead of his time and the vivid descriptions of life in the sea is just fantabulous.

Jules Verne was looking far ahead when he wrote this. It is a pity that even today we still have not fully explored the depths of our oceans. It is amazing to think about the worlds that lie hidden, waiting to be found.

July's Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is definitely a classic. His imagination and description of future possibilities is amazing.

One of the greats. Ahead of his time. And the book is so much better than the film.
