A review by sheila_the_glasser
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
adventurous
informative
reflective
slow-paced
Wish I could customise the character- or plot-driven response to say “fish-driven.” More lists of fish species than I expected and less plot, though just as much adventure and giant squid. I read it via substack and I think the episodic nature of the novel really lends itself to this serialisation, with the ten month journey taking the full ten months. Sometimes baffling, sometimes delightful, certainly a journey of twenty thousand leagues under the seas.
