20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Jules Verne was born in France in 1828 and always had a love
for the sea. He once tried to be a sea captain on a boat but things
did not work out. Jules Verne has written many very famous books such
as Journey To the Center of the Earth, Five Weeks in a balloon and
Around the World in Eighty Days. I have written a review on one of
his most famous books 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. This book combines
adventure, suspense and mystery throwing in a few pieces of
information about life under the sea.
The book begins with some great suspense, it begins with a
boat chasing a giant monster that has destroyed some huge unsinkable
ships. Every time they get close to this monster a giant stream of
water shoots hundreds of feet into the air, causing the boat to back
off. Once in a while the monster will disappear from sight for hours.
While reading this part of the book the reader feels like he is on
the boat chasing the monster also. A lot of times the boat gets close
enough to the monster to catch it and thoughts of what you think the
monster could be run through your head like crazy. When they finally
make an attempt to capture it, it disappears beneath the depths of the
ocean.
One of the most suspenseful and mysterious parts of the book
was when the characters were thrown into a big room inside the
submarine that seemed to have no doors. At this point in the book the
characters have no idea what was going on, neither does the reader.
