Verne is very dated now, and to be frank he wasn't that great a writer. His characterisation is weak, his plotting pretty basic, and his style leaves a lot to be desired... having said all that, this criticism is to take him out of context: you really need to look at his achievements in light of when he was writing, and what was being written at the time, and then you come to appreciate what a phenomenon Verne was.
