20000 leagues under the sea book5/7/2023 ![]() ![]() This novel is definitely not a children’s book, and only an exceptional child under high school age would be able to appreciate an unabridged version. The version of the book that I read and am reviewing is a full English translation of the French original. ![]() This was burned into my memory as the best ride ever, but I only rode it once because it was always broken or had a longer line than my family cared for. Then, at the end- “Oh, no! A giant squid is attacking!” The submarine rocked. We watched an underwater world unfold through our portholes with live fish and minitures as the submarine slowly moved around a tiny lagoon. The Disney employee narrated our adventure. ![]() The Victorian steampunk room had a red pleather upholstered bench in which everyone faced a porthole around the sides of the room. After waiting an hour in an extremely long line, a group of us climbed into submarine that never went lower than just under the surface of the water, but you would never know it from the inside. That may sound overly commercialized and cheesy to you, but it was an awe-inspiring experience for my very young self. My first encounter with the world of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne was on a ride at Disney World in Orlando Florida, USA. ![]()
