I would recommend this book,20,000 Leagues Under The Sea because it was such an adventurous story. The action was never ending, in all I counted sixteen main adventures including... A strange mysterious object, people taken as prisoners, and an octopus attack, there were many more but to many to list! This book was pretty easy to understand so people of all ages can enjoy it, I strongly suggest you read this book.

A classic novel that I read this year was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. This was a very exciting novel of a journey under the ocean in a giant submarine vessel the Nautilis. Captain Nemo is a very determined man and the one in charge on the ship. He captures three prisoners who were in chase of the vessel. The adventures that they have on their 20,000 league voyage are what make this one of the greatest science fiction stories ever. Verne wrote a master piece of a story. Written in the 1800's Verne was able to predict the future of underwater vessels that could travel at high speeds over great distances. I would highly recommend reading this great novel that's filled with action and suspense.

This was a great classic it wasn't my favorite classic because there was to much detail. It was a great journey under the sea. The NAUTILIS was a very amazing submarine. Captin Nemo was a very weird character.I was amazed that all the food, power, and energy came from the ocean. There was a lot of suspense when they were stuck under the ice in the south pole. I thought that they were going to get killed under the ice. The best part of the book was when they were in the whirl pool and they thought they were going to die.

A classic I would recommend is Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea . I would highly recommend this book because it is action and adventure packed. The book is about a doctor who is trying to find what a so called "sea monster" is, that has sunk many ships, but it is not an animal. It is really a submarine commanded by Captain Nemo. The book moves along smoothly and in some parts it is fasted paced and in others slow paced. If you like books with action and adventure in it you would absolutely love this book. That is why I really recommend Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea.
