20,000 leagues under the sea
“20,000 leagues under the sea”, written by Jules Verne, is a “sci-fi” classic about seamen, submarines, hunting, monsters, practice, resilience, etc. Where did I get this book?? Well, just the other day, my dad and I were strolling along a shopping mall when we found a coffee & food shop / bookshop. We went in, ONLY TO DISCOVER (nearly) ALL THE BOOKS WERE IN CHINESE!! We asked the shop assistant if there were any English books. It turned out to be there were only about a dozen books in English. At first, all the books seemed really complicated, all except one. My dad believed that I would like that type of novel. Guess what we did? Well, we bought it! As soon as I started reading the first page, I was (basically) “hypnotised”. I couldn’t take my eyes off the page. I just had to finish the book! Soon enough, I finished the book… THEN MY DAD GOT MORE BOOKS WRITTEN BY JULES VERNE (Around the World in Eighty Days, Journey to the Center of the Earth, The Mysterious Island)! I will soon put the book reviews for the three other books. I think Jules Verne is the best French writer in the world!! (For his time, anyway.)
