200000 Leagues Under the Sea pt. One

This book i one of my favorite classics of all time so far because of its memorable characters, and amazing writing style. But the best part of the book for me at least, is really the story and concept. Many of the visuals and scenes described hear are so iconic and dramatic that they are remembered fondly to this day. The author clearly has a marked affinity for the sea, and it is transparently clear here, and this is one of the only books that I'v ever read that was educational without talking down to the reader. Another part that I enjoyed about the book was its use of scientific terminology and realistic human reactions to the events happening here. Both of these literary attributes coupled with the luxurious vocabulary and word choice create an amazing experiential novel of epic proportions. I truly can't wait to keep reading, and become astonished once again.
