Book review: The Mysterious Island

The Mysterious Island The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the most impressive book I've ever read. I haven't got enough words to explain how deeply this book affected me. I have never read something more meaningful than this book. No modern author can write like that.
The fact that this author did not have any engineering education at all, and that he learnt everything from books in the local library make his works even more ingenious. I bow to his genius mind.
I am sorry to confess that most of us today don't have even a fraction of his practical knowledge and ingenuity.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surprisingly interesting book!

I have to confess that I was surprised by this book. The ideas in it are original and interesting. The YA part is realistic and definitely not too much. The characters are nice and far from predictable.
I have to say that this book left me wanting to read the next one in the series.
