"I read it because I think it would be a good adventure book.
It's about a guy named Professor Aronnax. He goes on a boat to find this really big sea monster, and he goes with -- they call him the greatest harpooner in the sea; his name is Ned Land. They go on the ship, they think they found the sea monster, but it's actually a submarine, and it's -- I think the ship and Professor Aronnax and Ned Land fall off -- or jump off -- and they get onto the submarine when they still think it's a sea monster. Then people come out of it, and they go in and start the adventure.
My favorite thing about the book is all the exciting things that happen and the things that are surprising that you wouldn't think would happen at that time. There wasn't anything about this story that I didn't really like. It's a really good book. A lot of people that like the ocean and swimming and having fun in the water would like this book. I would recommend this to 11 years old. I'd give it five stars."
