Dig into a delightful tale

Journey with Axel on Professor Otto Lidenbrocks' expedition to the center of the Earth. The tale is gripping from the very beginning and throughout the Earth, with claustrophobic suspense and moments that will leave you clutching your spade and nap sack. Like all of Verne's great stories, this is one to explore the mysterious yet some how realistic side of life.
Man has traveled to the moon, managed to go around the world in way less than 80 days, yet haven't made it to the center of the Earth which is what uniquely puts Journey in the Journey to the Center of the Earth. I regret that Verne couldn't have been buried on the Moon or at the Center of the Earth, because that is where the remarkable raconteur belongs and where his stories are.

A good book....

I thought that this was an interesting read although not very exciting most of the time. The book at times would feel like it was going on forever and, other times I wondered how it was that the time had passed so quickly. There is a lot of scientific reference and knowledge to fully understand everything that Verne is talking about. However overall it was good enough to compel me to read more of his works.

If you read this book, beware

Apparently there are two versions of this book. I read one version and then read the excerpt on Amazon. Guess what, they are two different books! Yes, even the main characters names are different. So, Im assuming that one book is the real thing and the other is a fake. Why would someone do this? Your guess is as good as mine. So if you read any copy of this book, I would like you to be more aware than I was of the fact that it might be a fake.

P.S. I do not mean to insult any publisher of the book
