Much of the story is a setup for additional tales in this series.
Another updated version of a classic Verne tale by Greig Beck

There, finally they lived happily, united in the present as they had been in the past; but they never forgot their island, an island to which they had come bereft and naked, an island that for four years had met their every need, an island of which there now remained only a small slab of granite lashed by the Pacific waves, the tomb of a man who was once Captain Nemo!

This might have been fun if it weren‘t for the weird semi-supernatural interference of Captain Nemo and, uh, the racism. Verne would get points for including a Black character but he loses them all for making that character a formerly enslaved man who is obsessively loyal to the master who freed him. 🤢 Anyway, the plot is about some men arriving on an uncharted island and having an unrealistic degree of success colonizing it.

A so-so that would have been a DNF if I were reading a book. As an audiobook it was OK. Good background noise I didn't have to pay close attention to while cleaning.

That's one #bookspin completed.

The engineer discussing extreme climate change in a book published during the 19th century is a little discomforting. Definitely can't be waved off as "things were different then."

catsuit_mango I loved the Jules Verne books as a kid but as an adult it's surprising how much he foresaw and not only in the positive. 4y
Sace @catsuit_mango Right? People have been ignoring climate change (or the idea of it) for quite some time it seems. 😑 4y

It took me a long while to finally finish reading this book. But once I finally started getting into it, I started reading more and more of it each day. This story was so full of mystery and adventure, it was very enjoyable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

📙don't have a favourite beach read, but book with an ocean setting... either the tagged book or 20000 Leagues Under the Sea (both Jules Verne) 🏝
📘picking just one is so hard!!! Probably either sea otter or manatee or octopus 🐙 (couldn't decide!)
📗favourite beach🤔... probably Port Erin beach here on the Island, or Summerstrand beachfront in Port Elizabeth, SA. Now that was an amazing holiday!!! ❤💜💙🏖

JoScho Otters and manatees 💙🏝 7y

This is another #audiobook that I recently finished, and acquired from #librivox. I really like their philosophy of providing public domain books to people in order to encourage a wider spread reading of literature and nonfiction.
There is not much that I can say positively about this book. It was long and not very interesting. Reminded me of a less enjoyable Robinson Crusoe. In fact, you‘re better off reading that book. Leave this one alone.

Because it's almost an handbook on how to survive a crash on a desert island. 😂. Because it's Verne and I can read, read and read Verne again and not be bored ever. Also I could probably cheat and get the whole series of books related to this book. 😗 🌴 📚 #emojinov

By request, the inside of The Mysterious Bookshop! It's every bit as charming as we hoped. And there's a couch! And like half the stuff in here is signed. It's sort of amazing.

Haven't read any Verne, but heard this was a good, underrated entry in his bibliography.

AMVP I say underrated, but a quick look at goodreads shows it's one of his highest rated. *shrug* 7y
