This is an all time classic tale, it is the one for which Jules Verne is perhaps most famous.
Captain Nemo is a complex character that is both lovable and frightening. One is never sure if he is insane or passionate. The story explores not only the ocean, but the depths of one's self.

Advice for any reader is: feel free to skip some paragraphs. To make the story seem more real, Jules Verne added a TON of scientific details. He literally lists ALL the fish he saw. Unless you are a Marine Biologist, you will find these paragraphs totally pointless.
Other than that, don't skip anything because the story is full of detail that really makes you think! A definite MUST READ.
