About this listen
Like many Jules Verne classics, The Mysterious Island takes you on an unforgettable journey of adventure and reflection. During the American Civil War, a group of Union soldiers escape their confederate captors when they steal a balloon. What they didn't anticipate is the violent storm that awaits them and leads them into uncharted territory.
When the storm-damaged balloon crashes, the men are marooned on a desert island. While awaiting rescue, the soldiers must work together to stay alive by making use of their survival skills and taking advantage of the vast resources on the island. Eventually, the men make the island into a home away from home, naming it Lincoln Island, after President Lincoln.
All is well until the group discovers a box of guns and ammunition that shouldn't be there. They begin to suspect the mysterious island may have its own secrets. Can the men survive long enough to be rescued off the island?

I miss it already
Jules Verne was a genius, of that there is no doubt. A man before his time. This audible book does his story credit, almost like watching a movie. The only reason I gave 'performance' a 4 star was because of the comedic portrayal of Pencroft. Well, I got a laugh at least. Altogether, a magnificent work.

Loved it!
Absolutely fantastic! I was enchanted by the story and could imagine myself living with the Colonists on the Lincoln Island. I also played a game by this title and it was absolutely wonderful. A very much needed get away during the pandemic. It saved my mental health no doubt.

Enjoyable
A really refreshing read. Nothing complex and rather the literary equivalent of watching a black and white movie. The story was interesting and had plenty of small hooks to maintain your interest. Though a little dated in various ways, the characters were interesting. I found it 'amusing' that a beautiful bird was being described one moment and then next it was being shot. In fact they shot at almost every living creature even if they didn't seem to need food or had already shot enough to feed a large party. No wonder their peers wiped out the dodo. Though I read the book quite a few months ago, I remember the experience well.
