To be clear, I haven't finished the entire tomb, just Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, I decided to read this due to Jules Verne's writings being referred to in both of the novels I just completed, Bedtime Stories by Joseph Blum and the Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.

Although each came from very different backgrounds, the main characters in both stories had enjoyed Verne's writings while growing up, as I had, over 40 years ago. My thought was, time to read him again, and slip back to my teenage years, a time when I was joyously amazed by the stories and the imagery presented by adventure authors.

Most readers will be familiar with the common belief that Verne wrote of things not yet discovered or proven, as if they were, in some cases, standards of technology at the time. TV's, submarines, etc. I'm told the list is quite long. This great imagination allowed him to create stories, that after 150 years, are still incredibly enjoyable, and filled with mystery and suspense.

I should not have been surprised to find a story that was well written, had good character development, and has stood the test of time.

I hope it connects for you also.

It is a decent collection of his more well known books but his writing is a bit dry in spots as far as scientifically classifying almost every creature he encounters. These are books I wanted to read but now that I have I will most likely not bother to reread them. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the flying ship one were suspiciously similar.
