The only fun thing about this was Ned Land. They were literally the ONLY submarine in the world at that point and the oceans are HUGE.Īgain, I would have overlooked that with pleasure if I weren't so pissed off with this boring time-suck. It's not as though anyone could track them down even if those guys spilled the beans! Why keep Aronnax, Conseil, & Ned prisoner just because they had seen the Nautilus? <-made no sense! Oh, and their stupid secret language that they spoke on board? It was probably Pig Latin, because everything else they did seemed like something thought up by a 10 year old.
It would be waaaaay easier and ultimately less time-consuming.
I mean, really? Why the hell would anyone go to all that trouble of building this masterpiece of a submarine just for revenge? Just track the fuckers down and shoot them in the head. Since it wasn't, that was just ONE MORE THING that I found annoying.
On the was also ridiculous but I could have easily given it a pass if this were a remotely engaging story otherwise. If a really tedious nature show fucked a 5th grade word problem and didn't use a condom - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea would be their bastard child. So, between those factors, I thought this would be a complete winner.Īlright. Plus, I usually have better luck when it comes to these older novels if I listen to the audiobook instead of trying to wade through all the crunchy dialogue with my eyeballs. It's supposed to be a classic action/adventure sci-fi book, right? And it's not an overly long book, which made me assume it was a pretty compact story. I was actually looking forward to listening to this. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is definitely the latter. I mean, there's boring and then there's mind-numbing. Hands down the WORST book I've read all year.
