Even now, years after reading this as a kid I still have a passion for scientific names and classifications of the living things. The vivid descriptions in this book - the power of electricity, captain Nemo's appearance, the underwater volcano, the giant octopuses, the north pole, and the last day on Nautilus are still alive in my imagination. One of my favourite books.

What a bore! Yes, I know it was ahead of it's time, but seriously - how many crustacians can you name in one paragraph? I would have renamed it "20,000 Useless Descriptive Words of the Sea"
