Great reading

I've enjoyed listening to to B. J. Harrison's podcast of Classic Works for a few years. This novel reading was just as good.

Awesome

Love this book and bj harrison is the man. Must listen to this masterpiece!! Awesome adventure.

another classic

BJ Harrison delivers another amazing performance of a classic. I love Verne's works, but BJ Harrison makes them even better.

Great classic!

I've finally read this after only seeing different film adaptations. It's an incredible novel, though more of a documentary than an adventure novel. The author must have been an oceanographer or marine biologist; he certainly loved the sea. I would recommend this book because there is a lot to learn from it. Don't let yourself be bored by it. Much of it is fascinating, especially hearing little bit about Jules Verne's original intentions for his novel (ie. Poland and Russia, etc), and reading the book with that knowledge.
