20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Puffin Graphics)

This book causes my Kindle to freeze. Must do a complete reset to get it to work again. This is the only book, so far that caused a crash. I don't know if I will try to re-download it from Amazon. Weird huh?

This novel is by far one of the best novels I have ever read. I recommend it to any fans of classic literature, science fiction or just well crafted writing. As with all Verne works he takes you on such a splendid journey and paints such a beautiful picture with his words. From beginning to end its a pleasure to read and, when I read it, I found it extremely hard to put it down; a quality that is most important in a book for me.

Boring and bland. He even spent two pages listing sponges. Don't waste your time by reading this.

downloaded the book and immediately started to suffer from kindle freeze. it completely locked up my kindle. took a lot of effort to get back in but as soon as i deleted the book kindle performance was back to normal. other reviews dont metion this problem so im mystified.

While the story does drag from time to time, as you read paragraphs about the genus species etc of the plans and animals that the protagonist sees, this is still a totally awesome vivid romp. It feels right at home with its great-grand-children novels in the steam-punk genre. The free kindle version is GREAT because you can look up all the random mollusks and make sure that they are ... random mollusks and nothing more sinister. The conversion to kindle has nearly no problems. The only thing that is missing is the lb symbol (or $) for some of the discussions on the value of random things.

If you have a kindle grab it.
