The idea of sailing the seas in a submarine would have been amazing and exciting when Jules Verne wrote this book, but now in the 21st century when this is an everyday thing the book has lost its appeal.  Unlike his other well-known book, The Mysterious Island, this one didn't have that much of a plot, other than the submarine story.  I love reading classics, and really enjoyed the other aforementioned book, but not this one.  There are pages of lengthy descriptions of fish, plants, coral, etc. which gets tiresome after a while.  I recommend you skip this one, and read Verne's other book.
