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 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.
