At the Earth's Core, with eBook Audiobook

" Found this a little boring. "

" A lighthearted and fun adventure novel from Burroughs. What might possibly live at the center of the Earth? "

" In the continuing spirit of trying to remember every bk I've ever read, I'm going to list all the Edgar Rice Burroughs Pellucidar bks - adventures in the Hollow Earth. I read them devotedly when I was about 13 to 15 & enjoyed them alot. I also pretty much wrote them off as trash. ERB wrote an enormous amt & I probably read at least 1 of the Mars novels too. Doubt that I'll ever read anything else by him but I'm ALMOST curious to see what my 13 yr old mind got out of these. "

" Amazingly fun for old sci-fi. "

" I thought I'd have to take a lactase pill. The only thing cheesier than this book is the 1976 movie version. (It's on netflix watch instantly.) "

" Burroughs always gets a five! I just read this in the eBook version via my Kindle app. Such a pleasure to escape to such a ridiculously absurd world! "

" Not the best thing Burroughs ever wrote, but fun to race through. Sort of like network TV. I was reading an early Saint novel at the same time, and liked how the dated styles/science/action compared and contrasted. "

" There's a reason this is such a classic. "

" Previously reviewed under The Original Planet of the Apes at The Taze Files. "

" Why is it that it generally seems his first books in the series are so much better than that rest in the series, and that after the Mars and Tarzan series, they seem so much like a 'formula'. Oh wait, they are a basic formula. Just a guilty pleasure. "

" Basically John Carter of inner earth. That's not necessarily a bad thing. "

" Yes, it is really an attempt to capture the popularity of Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" but it is really good, classic Edgar Rice Burroughs. Escape. "

" Edgar Rice Burroughs was a prolific writer of fiction. He wrote the Tarzan series, and many books about the earth's core, and Mars, and even a few westerns. I love him. "

" A good imaginative adventure story from about 1914. I read it many years ago. Burroughs takes us via a 'mole' and journeys under the Earth's surface to Pellucidar. The trip begins in the Sahara. "

" Solid scifi adventure tale. I read it very quickly and liked it very much. "

" This book is very good, but not very realistic. "

" A great book by a great author, no matter how many movie versions I see of this story, it only adds to the book itself, "

" Fantastic worlds, fearsome beasts, hot cavewomen... oh, this book has 'em all. A shining example of early 20th century pulp fiction at its finest. "

" Loved this one. First in the series. "

" Like all things Tarzan, I loved the Pellucidar series. I read as many as I could find in my Middle School and High School Library. Looks like they are back in print again. The language is probably pretty quaint for the kids of today, but the stories are great. "

" I don't actually like either David or Perry. "

" Do I really need to say why? LOL! For Silent Sustained Reading I'd forgotten my book so I got on to Project Gutenberg and dailed up some ERB for giggles. "

" Lost worlds... what can I say. "

" Travel to the center of the earth and fight dinosaurs and ice age animals. Could there be anything cooler? "

" Enjoyable reading. Old science-fiction adventure novel. "

" I don't actually like either David or Perry. "
