JUVENILE ADVENTURE TAKES LIBERTIES WITH VERNE

I love Verne, and Captain Nemo in particular. I DID enjoy this book but I didn't care for the way the author further demonized Captain Nemo, especially since the character had more than redeemed himself in the novel, The Mysterious Island. But this book is geared at an upper elementary audience, not to a 57 year-old. So I am going to let this complaint go. The story is very cleverly woven together, incorporating clues and passages from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The main character, Max, has sinestesia as well as a type of asperger's disease which makes for interesting responses to the tense situations occurring throughout the tory. The reader, Johnathan McClain, did a decent job narrating, except for when he was doing Max's and his 18 year-old female cousin, Alex. Overall, the story was fun and takes the reader/listener on a trip around the world under the sea.

Disappointing

Sadly the story was not what I had hoped for. The story felt one dimensional. The main character came off as the whiny brat you come across at the mall or while shopping, except this one had some serious issues with handling the real world. Not a character I even wanted to relate to.
I wondered if it’d be different if I had read it....because the narrator didn’t help. He paused a lot and when it came to character dialogue his inflection was distracting if not bad.
Overall, I endured the whole story hoping it would get better as it went on....unfortunately it didn’t. I like what I’ve heard from Peter Lerangis before, but I didn’t expect this one. Who knows, this may be a great read....but I wouldn’t call it a great listen.
