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.
