Journey to the Centre of the Earth Audiobook

" Lidenbrock is WIN. Axel is a whiny little bitch. The plot is initially interesting, but loses its energy after a while and dissolves into a pseudo-scientific romp that quickly becomes underwhelming... An okay read, but not fantastical enough to be worth picking up again. "

" Another book enjoyed in the school and lived the adventure with it for months "

" A wonderfully curious group of adventurers and their trip below the Earth. This book was so much fun to read. "

" Starts out slow, but once you get about halfway and they're actually, y'know, journeying to the center of the earth (instead of talking about what they're packing and getting to Iceland and stuff) it gets pretty interesting. I listened to this on audiobook as narrated by Tim Curry, and he did a GREAT job narrating. :) "

" There is nothing like a classic! "

" Feels dated now, seems so stilted but these may be a translation issue. "

" adventure, geology, death-defying. a fun read. unbelievable! "

" Meh. It was kind of boring. "

" "its so worth a read, because the science and geological descriptions are fascinating, and for 1864 this book may have been "before its time". I didn't find it boring and really loved it." "

" Intruiging with fantasy and imagination enlaced with the plot. Sometimes too unreal, but good nevertheless. "

" This is an excellent adventure tale that has stood the test of time. Jules Vern was a man whose voice and writing was ahead of his time. The Journey to The Center Of The Earth is a great book. "

" Read this in high school and enjoyed it. "

" A fun, short, interesting read. Jules Verne is very good at science fiction, but I did prefer Around the World in 80 Days. "

" A short classic, filled with as much psychology as science fiction. This is the first Verne I've read in recent memory, and I'm sad I waited so long. You should read this, because it is worth the quick read and isn't disappointing at all. "

" Of a science fiction classic I had expected something a lot more entertaining an science mad. While I can see past the archaic language and slow pace, I cannot overlook the inconseqencies and the almost complete absence of a surprising plot. "

" Easy and enjoyable read. The plot is quite good (considering it is science fiction from the 19th Century) and the vivid descriptions of their findings and ordeals through this adventure makes you wonder what to expect next. "

" It was fine, I guess I was just expecting more. It just seemed so childish compared to '20,000 Leagues under the Sea.' "

" I really couldn't understand most of it because of the language they were using. We had to read this book for French class, but thank goodness I got an A. "

" Highly decent. More a fictitious scientific account than a work of what we call modern science fiction, a great read that lights up the imagination. "

" Read it a long time ago. Meaning to re-read it. "

" read for my theater group when we were creating a play...<br/>i liked it so more i dont remember the plot very well, and really dont care for the book.<br/>Jules Verne is not my thing.... "

" Wonderful story of adventure and mystery. A good read for those fond of adventure and fantasy. Look forward to watching the 2008 movie by the same title. "

" Of a science fiction classic I had expected something a lot more entertaining an science mad. While I can see past the archaic language and slow pace, I cannot overlook the inconseqencies and the almost complete absence of a surprising plot. "

" My first Jules Verne novel. This was highly entertaining and wonderful for those of us raised on the corresponding James Mason film. "

" I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more Jules Verne. "

" Even though I marked this as a 3, I think it is still an important read. While not as future proof of some of his other books, Verne does an amazing job making science fun. I cannot imagine reading this book in 1864, I am sure it caused quite a stir. "

" Jules Verne's classic novel as an audiobook read by Tim Curry...AWESOME! "

" We listened to this book on CD. The kids and I enjoyed it. I liked the dry sense of humor throughout and the vocabulary used. We all learned some great words, including &quot;prodigious&quot; which they like to say now. It is a good adventure story. "

" A great story from the grandfather of Sci-fi "

" Good plot although it was hard to relate on technical stuffs but I were able to understand it, my imagination would run wild because of Verne's detailed description of Axel's travel in the centre of the Earth, "

" This book is from the 19th century? Well, I knew that but it was awesome! Really, awesome! "

" Il mio preferito di Verne, insieme a &quot;Giro del mondo in 80 giorni&quot;. "
