20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is about Professor Aronnax as he sets off to find a giant sea monster. But he is captured by the insane captain Nemo, who's submarine is the "sea monster".  They travel on the submarine on called the Nautilus that was invented by Nemo.

Once Aronnax realizes how insane Nemo is he has to escape. During their adventure they face giant squid, ice caps, find the lost city of Atlantis and face huge sharks to name a few of their dangerous in counters. At the end of the book they realize they are heading towards a whirlpool that no ship has ever escaped. But all of a sudden the characters wake up to find themselves in a fisherman's boat. he had no idea how they got there but they were free and Captain Nemo was no where to be found.

Professor Aronnax was French like  all of the characters in the book. He was strong, brave, capable of many different tasks, and smart. He was the Professor of Natural History at the Paris Museum. Nemo was an insane sea captain with this strong hate for the world. He treated Professor Aronnex and the rest of the crew poorly. Nemo also had lost his family. Ned Land was a strong fast and very skillful harpooner. Conseil was the professors right hand man. They were good friends.

This book was very adventurous, and had me on the edge of my feet a lot. I always wanted to know what would happen next. It would be really hard for me to put it down.

I mostly used post its for this. I didn't visualize r anything like that because there were some pictures in the book. But I did take a lot of notes and summarize. 

Jules Verne was born on 1828 in the seaport town of Nantes, France. He wrote over 100 stories. He died 1950 and is said by some to have "invented the future".
