After reading Around the World in 80 days, I was expecting another good work from Verne. This story had several good points to it, but also had points where the plot seems to drag on with unnecessary dialogue or other information. My only complaint is it is too lengthy. The adventure is interesting but lacks the excitement Around the World on 80 Days had.

Axel's eccentric uncle, professor Otto Lidenbrock, finds a parchment in a very old book. Arne Saknussemm wrote it saying he had been to the center of the earth. Otto immediately set off with Axel to Iceland, to start the journey Axel's main concern is staying alive. With help from their guide Hans, they started their way to the center of the earth. Will they get back to the surface alive? Read to find out! I recommend this book for adventurous people ages 10 and up.

My class made the book look ridiculous because we all know nothing can live in ... Read More

A lumbering read, alot of talk about the ground. Three characters, one is monosybolic, one is TOTALLY commited and the first person account whines all the time. He wants to hook-up with his cousin. Hmmm. A read to say you have read it.
