"I had the itch to try out an audio book from the master of adventure Edgar Rice Burroughs, and picked this up because the premise interested me more than any of his other works like Tarzan, or Barsoom series. I've seen the movies, and I got the flavor for those characters already in my mind so it was a better decision to dive into his other neglected worlds in his so called Burroughs universe. I enjoyed At The Earth's Core, which was the first in these books called the "Pellucidar" series. This was the second installment and I enjoyed it more than the first one, and judging by how this one flowed so easily over the course of a six hour length, I'm betting the rest are just a breeze to get through, and this is coming from someone who isn't very fond of older books written in a time way before me. The ideas of those stories seemed dated and wouldn't have interested me, but this had that flare of escapism without the lack of realistic circumstances. It was a world inside a world (of course a dated theory) but he wrote it in such a way, that you could believe that you were really there. Like I said, it flowed like honey and was easy to listen too, and I don't regret starting with the series. 4/5 stars."
