Just finished this month's Book Club selection, The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne. As someone else mentioned, Part I was slow going and Part II was not much better, but things really picked up in Part III: it was a real joy to read. After finishing Chapter 15 of Part III, where the mystery of the island was revealed, all I could say was, "I knew it! I just knew it!" Yes, I saw it coming, I figured it out, but that didn't lessen its impact! The pace and payoff of Part III is well worth the wade through Parts I and II.
