4 average rating Quiz: The Mysterious Island
If you read the book, The Mystery Island, by Jules Verne and paid attention to the details, you should probably succeed with this quiz. I am making this quiz since after reading the book, I was searching for one to take for the purpose of preparing myself for a test at school. Of course, I didn't find one, hence why I'm here creating it. Anyway, what I'll be testing? Details! Names! Maybe dates. Probably places, and important events. Fun, hmm?

Hope you enjoy this little piece. 19 questions.
Take care.

The purpose of this quiz is not altogether academic, and may find opposition in Joycean scholars. I wish merely to introduce the broad range of humor that I've found in reading the novel. Of course, previous acquaintance with the book may be necessary to answer the questions, as they are very specific. I should also submit a disclaimer for my concept of humor; maybe this isn't funny at all.
