When it was interesting, it was very interesting! But the interesting parts were over so quickly, and then get ready for endless descriptions of sea life. Endless. Descriptions. And I get it. People didn't have Google or the means to travel so all of the descriptions were probably fascinating in those olden days. But I am not from ye olden days.
There was very little rising and falling action. Either something cool was happening, or there's twenty pages of fish description, repeat 25 times until the end of the book. I read Journey to the Center of the Earth when I was about 12, unabridged, and loved it. I thought this would be as fun to read, but I was wrong lol
