awesome

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Good stories bad narrator

I read the HG Wells collection and the stories were about as good but I liked them so much better because each story was told by a different famous actor who brought life to the story. This whole collection is read by one guy who almost never doesn’t sound like he is clearly trying (and sometimes struggling) to read aloud. He makes it hard to get into the stories.
Jules Verne clearly likes to go into too much detail about all things scientific (and I love science, but he goes into so much detail that it detracts from the overall story) and the narrator’s monotone makes it even more tedious. I had to read one story at a time and then read a few other books in between because this was so boring.

So my recommendation is to try a sample first.

The mysterious island is a survival story of a life time

A few jumps and changes in audio but loved it regardless. Always worth a listen

excellent narrator

excellent narrator. these stories are classic for reason. thoroughly enjoyable if you can accept some of the constraints authors of this time had.

timeless and spellbinding

Another time different worlds.... time travel (in words) and adventure! Try it, you'll like it!

Great Classics

A must-have for fans of Verne stories and a good way of getting the kids interested by using it like "bed-night" stories or long travels.

It's a great collection.

It is a great collection of stories, the narration was a little dry for me. I started then stopped quite a few times to get through the book, at 43 hours it takes a while. The stories are written for a time that gave you something to read for a long time, to entertain you. I enjoyed the stories very much.I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review

Well Done

Calmly read while raking the listener on several exciting journeys to itch one of the masters of science fiction.

The writing was elegant!

The writing was elegant and beautiful. It highlighted in every story what it means to be gentlemen truly were in comparison to what they are bow. Every book highlights the enginuity of men and their capabilities!

Great Stories and Great Narration

This is a collection of classics that should not be overlooked.
The narrator does a fantastic job and the stories are wonderfully written.
The books far exceed what you may have seen in the past on the screen.
