About this listen

A mysterious sea monster, theorized by some to be a giant narwhal, is sighted by ships of several nations; an ocean liner is also damaged by the creature. The United States government finally assembles an expedition to track down and destroy the menace. Professor Pierre Aronnax, a noted French marine biologist and narrator of the story, master harpoonist Ned Land, and Aronnax's faithful assistant Conseil join the expedition.

After much fruitless searching, the monster is found, and the ship charges into battle. During the fight, the ship's steering is damaged, and the three men are thrown overboard. They find themselves stranded on the "hide" of the creature, only to discover to their surprise that it is a large metal construct. They are quickly captured and brought inside the vessel, where they meet its enigmatic creator and commander, Captain Nemo.

He mispronounces even simple words such as 'quadruped' and his many subtle hesitations are cumulatively ruinous. This is a book in which erudite conversation is crucial.

Munro's limited vocabulary is horribly obvious.

The book contains many many lists of sea creatures and Latin names, which can get a bit long. Read very well, the narrator's voice suits the story style

Great reading, strange book

I loved the story which kept me listening. how ever Alan Monro's narration did not flow as well as it should. it was very stop starty . which distracted from what is a classic.

Good book but Narration left a lot to be desired.
