20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Dramatized) (Abridged) Audiobook

" I read this when I was a kid, and am currently reading it again with my 9-year-old son. The writing is pretty dense. Perhaps a better translation than the one I have would help. "

" I want to read this book becuase I have always loved the ocean. I think it would be a great book to read. "

" Great Jules Verne classic, this illustrated one was quite enjoyable also, the movie versions are also quite good... This is one of my favourite Verne stories... "

" I thought it was confusing. But I sitll thought it was really good. "

" I have heard this is the stupidest book ever. i advise not to read it. A group of kids in my class last year had to read it and they wanted to hurry up with it because they were so miserable reading it!!! so yeah "

" I devoured this in one sitting, and at a young age too. This is a fabulous story, a work of art. "

" This is an abridged version for children. I use them (there is a series of books - The Great Illustrated Classics) to read with the our children every evening. "

" Awesome!! I loved this book. "

" For its age, a surprisingly lucid piece of sci-fi about an underwater voyage in a deep submersion vehicle - submarine, powered by the promising new technology - electricity. Good stuff even today. "

" At points I was very excited about this book as a tease for reading the real thing. In the end it just fell flat and wrapped itself up with out the needed emotion. "

" A fantastic adventure to read aloud! We followed their journey on the map and learned about the Suez Canal. "

" This book is so interesting that I could not stop reading it! "

" I read both the children's abridged version and the "real" version of this book, and strangely enough, both were good. :) Of course the full version is better (as always) but the abridged version wasn't half-bad. "

" Da non perdere, un'avventura fantastica. "

" Like many classics...a little drawn out. I can appreciate the attention to detail and scientific knowledge demonstrated though. "

" A good start but then it lagged... had many dull moments. It is great science fiction for its time period but all the expectations fell short. "

" It was very long. It was absolutely worth it. "

" By "under" I'd always assumed it meant "straight down" and silently cursed it because I knew the oceans weren't that deep. Glad to have finally read it. "

" read for my theater group when we were creating a play....safe to say i quit the theater group afterwards...Jules Verne while a great author not my favorite at any means...This bookd gave me nausea with his descriptions of underwater life and other stuff...Read the Spanish versioN! "

" An interesting adventure.Great imaginary scenery and a good story. At some points its redundant and if you are not interested in sea adventures it could be a little bit over the top. Its decent but not a must read or a page turner."Around the world in 80 days" is ten times better. "

" Really long and boring and not that much going on. Just not my kind of book. "
