Customer Reviews
Fascinating
I learned so much from this book. I learned that a league is 3 nautical miles, and one nmi equivalent to 1/60th of a longitudinal degree, or a "minute". I learned what albatrosses look like and that shells are always "right-handed". But not only this. This story is lovely and fascinating throughout. I was very pleasantly pleased by this book. I will read it again some day.
Love this book
Amazing book.
The author writes beautifully.
Must read
Jules Verne writes like a scientist, philosopher, historian and explorer. The movie made by Walt Disney does not capture what this book delivers.
