2hrs in. This is awesome. I never imagined this would be so utterly brilliant.
But I can't help but feel ( especially after speaking to a plethora of people under 35) - there's something profound and ugly happening to our language.
Never before have I suffered such a strong ambivalent notion for the modern de-evolution of the exquisite intricacies of the English language and ongoing absence and beauty linguistic achievements beheld for us to pursue a purity and strength of mind, rewarded by studies of the language. eventually disintegrating into the minimalistic drab and simplistic laziness of 21st century language.
conceived stories governed by prolific indelible correct language is highly underestimated and receding.
. Such is the development of the intellectual mind can be increased it also, can be minimised; to the folly of human artistic beauty.

I read HG Well's War of the Worlds a couple of years ago and was amazed to find that it didn't come across as at all dated.
This novel by Vernes on the other hand sounds incredibly anachronistic.
I believe that the difference lies in the fact that Well's story doesn't dwell on pseudo technical details. It is full of a menacing atmosphere the details of which are left very much to the reader's imagination.
20000 leagues is full of pseudo science which may have seemed alluring in its day, but now comes off as quaint and faintly ridiculous.
Just my opinion of course.

Anyone looking for good audiobooks, please try Steve Parker audiobooks. His reading of Animal Farm, 1984 and Brave new world are next level. He has done many others including Alices adventures in wonderland, Frankenstein, The island of Dr Moreau.
He also runs short story competitions and turns the winners into mini audiobooks.
Do yourself a favour, you will not be dissapointed.

Ok let's be clear. This is a story about a nerdy scientist who gets taken on board a cool sci-fi ship, shown all the cool things about how it works, and then shown a bunch of cool things all over the world, by a brilliant and cool yet mysteriously rogueish man. This is eloquently-written self-insert wish fulfilment.

I loved your reading of the book. I usually prefer to read printed books, but I was sick and wanted something less straining on the eyes. I tried several readings, and yours was perfect. The voice, the intonations, the way you change them slightly for different characters - and it fit the book wondefully. Thank you!

I think the moral of the story is that empathy is a weakness that will get you killed. Captain Nemo should have let those people drown. They tried to shoot him, after all. Empathy is a curse. It wasn't a worthwhile decision, and his secret never should have gotten out.

A submarine that can't replenish it's oxygen supply while underwater is not a submarine, but merely a submersible. And it supposedly had great amount of electricity to play around with, so wth

20, 000 leagues is about 72, 000 nautical miles.
The squid is far more likely to jump out of fantasy than the title. Sorry Vern, it isn't quite that deep.

Yup! Nobody has done this properly since Disney. It's maybe a better story than search for the holy graile. Somebody on payroll should get on this. Just sayin

It is very much science fiction. Fiction imagined in light of the possibilities that science and engineering may allow. Not a blaster in sight!
