This is another of the old classics that Amazon has released in eBook format.  I read this story first over fifty years ago while it was being held between the hardback bindings of a library book in conjunction with Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and In Search of the Castaways.  After I discovered how exciting Jules Verne's writings truly were I started reading all of his books that I could find and I most certainty appreciated every one of them.  When I saw "The Mysterious Island" in eBook format on Amazon I simply had to have a copy.  It is now my desire to acquire all the books that I have read and the books I now have in my personal hard-copy library, in the eBook format.  Even though we have grown up reading hardback and paperback books, enjoying the smell of printer's ink and experiencing the feeling of a good binding and fine paper in our hands, we no longer are able to collect them in their original format due to lack of available shelf space.  I have discovered that being able to carry all of my books around in my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is not a bad way to go after all.  Hunting through book shelf after book shelf for a novel or digging through box after box of books which we had to place in storage because our books were completely taking over our home, looking for just the right book, has unfortunately become unrealistic. However I regress and this is a review about Jules Verne and his book "The Mysterious Island"  Read it, I believe you will love it.
