This is a book based on a movie based on a comic. I haven't read the book because I haven't seen the movie, but I have read the first volume of the comic and found it mildly interesting. Apparently the author of this novelization blended elements of the movie and comics to create a better fleshed-out story than the movie provided.

From the back of the book: "London, 1899. As the British Empire lies in mortal jeopardy, a top-secret initiative unites several of the most illustrious (and sometimes infamous) personages of the age: Allan Quartermain, famed explorer and adventurer; Captain Nemo, master of the undersea submersible Nautilus: Dr. Henry Jekyll and his brutish alter ego, Mr. Hyde; Rodney Skinner, the Invisible Man; Dorian Gray, the ageless subject of a diabolical portrait; Mina Harker, surviving victim of the late Count Dracula and a scrappy American secret agent named Tom Sawyer. Together they form THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN. When a criminal mastermind known only as 'The Fantom' plots to hurl the world into war, The League must race across the globe to foil the masked madman's insidious scheme. But they may not have reckoned with the traitor in their midst..."

This book is on its way to quietorchid in the Steampunk Bookbox.

I remember seeing this movie in the theaters when it first came out, but didn't care much for it.

The book enjoyed a brief stay in San Jose, California before continuing its travels in the Steampunk Bookbox!

This book came back to me in the Steampunk Bookbox, so before long I'll have to send it back out into the world for some new adventures.

Left on the book exchange shelf. Hopefully it will find a new reader from there.
