Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island is an exciting novel of
varying qualities and multiple genres. I will omit any spoilers concerning the
novel.
What the story lacks in substance it makes up for in
description and visual and sensory details. It has a slow rising action but when
it picks up it really does pick up and is able to successfully connect two
previous novels of Verne(20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and In Search of Castaways) together and give some background to them. The
revelation and the sensory details are very much worth the wait of reading.
Though throughout the beginning you could easily get bored with the dragging situations. You can most definitely see the big influence this novel had on the
creators of shows such as LOST. A very interesting read that is not for those
who bore easily, I give this book a 6.2/10.
