I’m pretty certain this one was a school’s copy of a book as it was an adaptation of a classic. Not entirely excited to read the classic, this condensed adaptation was the perfect amount of story to give me the overall concept of the original without spending too much time with it.

My Overall Rating:
3 – This was a quick read, as it’s very short. This particular adaptation was very easy too. The plot was unique, and also just very weird. Captain Nemo is one of the most unique characters I’ve ever read, and I think this adaptation only touches the surface of him. It certainly wasn’t an earth shattering read, but it was worth the little time I put into it as the original is a classic.
