" My English teacher read this book to us. It was so boring. I'm so glad she didn't make us take a test on this because I would have failed it, and it's not that hard to make it look like you're listening when you're completely zoned out. But while my teacher was reading this she even made fun of it. The only reason Jules Verne made this book was to brag about how much he knows about the Earth's history. Literally. You did that and this is considered a classic. What is up with you people. They didn't even make it to the Earth's center! Come on. And the main character, Axle, faints every single chapter. It's just stupid and some of the things they do, or Hans does, is just unbelievable. Really? I don't see why this book is considered to be good. "
