Reviews

[Peter Jochinger]

If your looking for adventure then this is a must read. I have read this works in conjunction with the works of H.G.Wells which I also give 5 stars. To sum up for the reader: One is the master of understanding love and romance in the narrative and Jules Verne is the master of adventure and imagination.
Travel the continent the way no one else could describe, visit the north pole in detail then journey the jungles of deepest Africa. No land is left untouched absolutely remarkable.
Both books are amazing value, containing endless hours of enjoyment.

Laziness on my part?

What I liked most was his imagination of the submarine of the nautilus which inspired our design and use of it and diving suits.
Also his character development. Some of his stories were built on previous stories.
As to the laziness on my part, I just didn’t look up longitude and latitude on the polar explorations So I probably didn’t appreciate some of the those accounts.
I obtained this e book from a website that digitized books from the public domain
This might account for a couple of stories included twice.

to me
I thought this book was written in a truly 5 stars method however its editing and order of stories really let it down. It did leave the reader with a real impression of the scientific development at that point of human life on planet earth. One thing that must be said for Jules Verne is that he researched everything. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in scientific advance and social development.

Interesting historical references

Some themes are repetitive and the endings are not usually surprises but he still keeps you reading on. In their day they were the best entertainment due to their vision of the future today a window to the past but still entertaining.

[Yves Leblanc]

Very good contemporary stories, although somewhat long at times and very quick wrap-up.
