Review: The Mysterious Island
The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Imaginative, and engaging, filled with engineering details, but not altogether convincing as science fiction. Jules Verne connects this work to his Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea through the inimitable character of Captain Nemo, and offers a version of judgment on his actions. Nevertheless, the story appears somewhat contrived.
Yet, science fiction lovers will surely enjoy a Jules Verne work!
