Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas: 100th Anniversary Collection

Beautiful cover and great translation. A definate must have.

Fun to read

Jules Verne was a man beyond his time and so was Captian Nemo. Reading this book was like exploring the very depths of the ocean and his mind. This is a journey I will certain come back to again and again.

a classic

Original illustrations and font. An excellent read.

the corner was a little bit damage

8th time I read it, I wanted a copy for my home

How to begin... there are some aspects of this book that were extremely fascinating and the adventure that Jules Verne writes is captivating. What I did not care for were the excessive uses of nautical terms as well as zoological/biological terms used to describe everything in the book. Perhaps it is just more evidence of the dumbing down of society as we no longer describe things in these fashions and makes it difficult for the reader of today to follow. Even with the author's fluent and graceful writing. The thing that most irritated me, was that all my life I've been led to think the Nautilus was attacked by a giant squid when that chapter in the book was described VERY differently! However, I guess I cannot fault the original story for how other interpretations have distorted it. Still, I can see why this book is so timeless and I encourage everyone to give it a read to enjoy the great adventure with mad Captain Nemo under the sea.

I was very disappointed with this edition.The cover is made of that new fangled plastic-like soap film material which is unpleasant to the touch and doesn't promote wanting to curl up to read the book. All the illustrations have been digitally reproduced and are not nearly as crisp or clear as the etched originals.This really is an inferior reproduction.

If you've seen all the films and TV shows just read the original book and you'll be transported back in time to understand the idea of Nemo and his submarine. The author is incredible and wrote about so many incredible things. Sit down and enjoy

No review as of yet, my grandson has just started to read it.
