You should read this book. It has many twists and turns in it once it gets started. It took me a fair amount of time to get into the story but once i did,it was an interesting read.

This should be one of the more common Jules Verne tales. It is classic in the sense of its respect for goodness and abhorrence of evil. The protagonists are exemplary in character and the ensuing love story is a gem of classic purity and heroism. Too bad this is a story that has been largely forgotten in the vaults of time.
