Product Description:
Jules Gabriel Verne (1828-1905) was a French author who pioneered the science-fiction genre. He is best known for novels such as Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air and underwater travel before air travel and practical submarines were invented, and before practical means of space travel had been devised. He is the third most translated author in the world, according to Index Translationum. Some of his books have been made into films. Verne, along with Hugo Gernsback and H. G. Wells, is often popularly referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction". Amongst his other works are From the Earth to the Moon (1867), Five Weeks in a Balloon (1869), The Fur Country; or, Seventy Degrees North Latitude (1873), The Blockade Runners (1874), The Field of Ice (1875), The Mysterious Island (1875), Facing the Flag (1879), and An Antarctic Mystery (1899).

This book causes my Kindle to freeze. Must do a complete reset to get it to work again. This is the only book, so far that caused a crash. I don't know if I will try to re-download it from Amazon. Weird huh?

This novel is by far one of the best novels I have ever read. I recommend it to any fans of classic literature, science fiction or just well crafted writing. As with all Verne works he takes you on such a splendid journey and paints such a beautiful picture with his words. From beginning to end its a pleasure to read and, when I read it, I found it extremely hard to put it down; a quality that is most important in a book for me.

Boring and bland. He even spent two pages listing sponges. Don't waste your time by reading this.
