I wish there had been less focus on fish and more on Nemo's backstory. This is what I would consider a classic "dad book," complete with an all-male cast of characters going on an adventure and A LOT of long, dry descriptions of random fish and crustaceans.

The submarine is owned by reclusive billionaire Captain Nemo, who offers the confused trio the opportunity to travel the world in his luxurious submarine, though they will need to leave society and their lives behind. French marine biologist Pierre Arannax, his servant Conseil, and Canadian harpooner Ned Land all get thrown overboard during an ocean expedition and are picked up by an ultra-fast, massive deepwater submarine.
