Publisher's Summary
Based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, who survived alone for almost five years on an uninhabited island off the coast of Chile, The Mysterious Island is considered by many to be Jules Verne’s masterpiece.
“Wide-eyed mid-nineteenth-century humanistic optimism in a breezy, blissfully readable translation by Stump” (Kirkus Reviews), here is the enthralling tale of five men and a dog who land in a balloon on a faraway, fantastic island of bewildering goings-on and their struggle to survive as they uncover the island’s secret.

it's a classic and worth a listen to
I struggled at times, going so in-depth on minuit details of flora and animals I'm sure is captivating for many, not so much for me.
The performance was great.

Amazing story, and even better author
It's kind of amazing how five people who are stranded on an island, can turn their situation from one of desperation, to one of building their own colony, inside a cavern system called Granite house. I love listening to the different Flora and Fana of the island, my least favourite part of the story was the injury that Herbert had and the miracle it took to heal him. Very awesome. I love this story from start to finish.

Awesome
Love a long novel that keeps your attention the whole time and where you don’t see how it ends.

Solid book
This is a pretty good book, unfortunately it kept putting in mind of gilligan’s island. I know it was written before the tv show but……
