Review: Not Verne's best, but still worthwhile.
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is a good book, and it keeps the reader in suspense, although it gets a little boring at times. 5 men get stranded on an island and they get into some adventures. Pretty standard plot, however there is an orangutan named Joop and a dog named Top, which gives the novel some heart and soul in addition to diversity. I felt cheated quite a bit by the ending, however I still enjoyed it.
