Viaje al Centro de la Tierra (Journey to the Center of the Earth) (Dramatized) (Abridged) Audiobook

" I absolutely loved this book, I couldn't put it down! It's a lovely short read full of action packed adventure. It's very intelligently written, with not a single boring chapter. I was excited, nervous and scared the whole way through it and the professors crazy braveness also had me laughing out loud at some points. "

" Wonderful adventure! Would love to embark with the Professor and his nephew again! "

" Read in the original, just to refresh my French. A bit outdated for today's narrative, I think. "

" A fun adventure, simple and exciting. "

" 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. "

" Another childhood read, which I remember very much enjoying. I don't recall much beyond the river named after Hans, which was boiling hot at first. That's it. I doubt I'll ever read it again. Why trade a four-star read for a one-star, after all? "

" This was a surprisingly good book to me. I was expecting it to be old-timey and irrelevant but it was surprisingly good and easy to understand. It remains a legitimate sci-fi book and I highly recommend it to everyone. "

" This story fueled my imagination as a kid. It would eventually become known as "Science Fiction". "

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

" Such a fun quick read. I wish I'd read this 20 years ago!! "

" Verne definitely had a great imagination but didn't know how to capture his audience. He fills it with scientific facts and figures which I feel distances people from the wonder and beauty of his work. "

" Tim Curry was a terrific narrator "

" Classic book by the master of science fiction. excellent read "

" I studied this book when I was in the 8th grade , it was amazing . and I still admire this book after all these years . "

" I found this book very enjoyable. The sheer knowledge Jules Verne possesses about science subjects is staggering. He describes every incident with a lengthy explanation of how it could be or could not be so. "

" It's the center of the Earth, man. Come on. It's a shame I watched The Core, because that movie made a mockery about the journey to the center of the Earth. Then again, perhaps that's a blessing in disguise, because I appreciate this book much more now. "

" long ago, but it was fun "

" My favorite JV story. It's so detailed and imaginative. "

" The most surprising thing is that when I started reading it aloud to my early-elementary school child, she begged me to keep reading despite the language complexity. I wouldn't give in because I didn't like the habit of having to stop every paragraph to explain what I'd just read. Maybe later. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

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

" 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 "prodigious" 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 "Giro del mondo in 80 giorni". "
