The Mysterious Island |
|---|
The Mysterious Island is another exquisite novel written by the master of adventure writing, Jules Verne. The novel has been seen as the sequel to two other famous novels written by the same author: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and In Search of the Castaway.
The story revolves around five Americans who live in a dark and harsh environment as prisoners of the American Civil War. Depleted by famine and death all around them, the five war prisoners take a big risk and escape by hijacking a hot air balloon. The five fugitives, an engineer, a servant, a former slave, a sailor and a journalist have to face an ugly and destroying storm, crashing on a mysterious volcanic island.
The five men start a new living there, but circumstances soon become mysterious when a message in a bottle turns up on the beach. With pirate attacks and erupting volcanoes these five escapees get more than they bargained for. This book is a fun read for anyone with an adventurous spirit deep inside. |

Reviewer: Toby - June 3, 2014 Subject: Terrible sound Try to get through the first 4 chapters of terrible sound quality... |
|
Reviewer: John Lott - April 7, 2014 Totally awesome all the thought the story |
|
Reviewer: Steve - April 3, 2014 Subject: John T Koos Classic story, completely ruined by John T Koos who's emphasis on the wrong words, pausing that makes you think the reading is being read by Captain James T Kirk and impressions of an English man, Irish man and Scots man should be left in jokes makes some of the chapters almost impossible to follow along to! A big thank you to all those other readers for their time and excellent work. |
|
Reviewer: Nirmal - April 3, 2014 As good as, if not better than, Robinson Crusoe |
|
Reviewer: Matthew - November 6, 2013 Subject: S Slow start, but overall great story that I will remember forever and well read! |
|
Reviewer: Scott - November 4, 2013 Great book nearly ruined by the reading of John T Kooz who seems to delight in not only placing strange emphasis on words, but talking in ridiculous voices that mock the characters. |
|
Reviewer: User - October 9, 2013 Pretty poor quality recording before chapter 4. |
|
Reviewer: SVS - July 23, 2013 Subject: John T. Coos Please tell this reader to avoid placing strange emphasis on words. He also randomly switches accents and seems to put so much effort in this that he runs out of air. |
|
Reviewer: Amy - April 27, 2013 Subject: The Mysterious Island The guy who reads chapters 12-18 has a really annoying voice and switches accents very distractingly. He also put strange emphasis on words and seems like he's basically trying to annoy the listener as much as possible. Other than that, great audiobook! |
|
Reviewer: Kris - April 22, 2013 The quality of the recording made me stop after 30mins. Need a better recording to make it enjoyable. |

Reviewer: Marcos - December 12, 2012 Subject: The mysterious Island Thank you Mark Smith, your reading is wonderful!!! |
|
Reviewer: Rita - November 23, 2012 Subject: Thank You! This book shaped my late childhood and I can surely say, my personality. I remember the long evenings as I read it for my younger brother, and now, almost 20 years later Mark read it to me with his beautiful, calm voice. I was again on Lincoln island. Thank you so much! |

Reviewer: Annette - October 28, 2012 Subject: The Mysterious Island I started listening to it but it somehow bored me due to the fact that nothing exciting happens as the plot progresses. I forced myself to listen to it, for I am a Jules Verne fan, but I couldn't follow it further than the 16th chapter. Up until that part there are only reports of how these castaways struggled to survive in a deserted island. I don't know if the plot gets any better as the story unfolds itself but I couldn't continue listening to it. The reader was excellent,though.His voice was very easy to follow. |
