*Personal response*
Level for me: easy
I like a genre of adventure, so this book was very interesting for me. I have known this story concept is used for the Tokyo Disney Sea's attraction "Center of the Earth". So, I compared the book and the attraction in Disney Sea, and I could find some similar parts between two. Also, Captain Nemo's life in the sea is very interesting. If you know the attraction in Disney Sea please try to read it.
