Description To Books Journey to the Center of the Earth (Extraordinary Voyages #3)

The intrepid Professor Liedenbrock embarks upon the strangest expedition of the nineteenth century: a journey down an extinct Icelandic volcano to the Earth's very core. In his quest to penetrate the planet's primordial secrets, the geologist--together with his quaking nephew Axel and their devoted guide, Hans--discovers an astonishing subterranean menagerie of prehistoric proportions. Verne's imaginative tale is at once the ultimate science fiction adventure and a reflection on the perfectibility of human understanding and the psychology of the questor.

Crit Regarding Books Journey to the Center of the Earth (Extraordinary Voyages #3)

Thank god I read this through Serial Reader or I never would have been able to get through this. I thought it was so long and dragged out. There were so many boring and unnecessary descriptions and it lacked a lot of the action and excitement that I thought it would have. It was extremely drab and quite honestly, it nearly bored me to tears!

When I was young I read this book and most of his others too. I used to wonder about the Hollow Earth and often compared it to Middle Earth and Midgaurd. Alice down the rabbit hole. Shamballa and Hades. Like At The Earths Core this book opens the imagination to an inner realm. I have researched this concept and it is very fascinating indeed. The diary of Admiral Byrd is worth looking into. Agartha. Ancient discoveries have been made illustrating this concept. Were these greats of literature on

It was a pure joy to read this wonderful story of adventure, I felt entertained the whole way through.I loved the characters, the writing style and the plot so incredibly much. I can't even explain why, I just had a good feeling every time I picked up this book.

This was a DNF for me when I was a teenager. I loved the old movie, but I just couldn't get into the book.Then, I selected this for my Goodreads book-club a couple of years ago thinking that now that I have grown up and read more - and because Jules Verne is one of the founding fathers of sci-fi - I would now love it. Unfortunately, it was still a bit slow and hard to get through. I enjoyed it, but it just didn't keep me enthralled liked I hoped it would.Then, I went back and watched the movie

A flat, disappointing story populated with one-dimensional characters that I grew to dislike.The narrator is a whiny young man prone to fainting and with very little backbone who does not, in fact, want to be on this adventure. I hated his uncle, the scientist, who is a pedantic, paternalistic know-it-all, so utterly absorbed in his own work and importance that he's oblivious to the feelings and desires of people around him. Their guide, an Icelandic eider-down hunter, has zero personality and

Gawd dim it, bollocks, ShazBot and shit snacks...I am so, SO bummed that I didnt experience Jules Vernes novels for the first time as a young man, rather than as an aging manolescent. Reading them now, as a 41 year old, I still find myself carried away in the rollickingness of his well crafted adventures, but part of me knows deep down in my nethers that theres a warm, gooey nostalgia that will always be missing. This giant load of empty in my core, if filled, would likely have elevated this

Let's go on an adventure! But first, an apology to Mr. Verne. I avoided this book for many years because I'm a fan of planetology and anyone who attempts to convince me that they can get this deep into the crust has GOT TO BE SHITTING ME. So what did I do? I avoided it. Never mind when this came out and never mind about dinos and giants and lightning storms and great underground oceans and a very distinctive and cooler mantle. As Science Fiction, with just a grain of credulity, the novel is
