Summary: Great book, Great movie
Review: Just before I forget, make sure to check out the movie "Journey to the Center of the Earth" with Jeremy London and that other guy whose name I just can't remember. Treat Williams or something?ANYWAY... good book! Great writing, and dang, I just wish I could visit the center of the earth! Very detailed, wonderful descriptions. Only one thing I would change.. the chapter titles. They give away everything about what's going to happen in that chapter, so just a hint.. avoiding reading the chapter titles!

Summary: Excellent Adventure
Review: So, what is so special about going to the center of the earth. Its fun and its a possibility! 'A Journey to the Center of the Earth', is a narration by Axel who takes a trip to the center of the earth with his uncle, a famous mineralogist. They start their journey from a mountain in Iceland and end up..... Although, this idea is impossible(?) but the author has given such proofs that while reading the book, you actually start thinking that just may be it is possible. And come to think of it, there is yet another world miles under our feet! The story is narrated in very simple way with very few scientific details and terminologies used unlike '20,000 leagues under the sea' by the same author, where he used so many of complex marine terms that a person not familiar with them get frustrated. A good adventure book just like rest from Jules Verne. Stronly recommended to those who have taste for such adventures like going to the earth's center or going around the world in 80 days (with no air travel).

Summary: Vintage Science Fiction
Review: Journey to the Center of the Earth is another Science Fiction by Jules Verne (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in 80 Days) Like most of Verne's other works, Journey is told from the perspective of someone reminiscing about a great adventure. Becuase the story is told in a journal-like fashion, the action sequences are abridged somewhat; but there is still some excitement in this book. Though somewhat dated (many of the theories Verne relied on when writing his descriptions about the center of the Earth have since been disproven) this book is still an excellent read.

Summary: Help me!
Review: HELP ME! I got my hands on and read a book at my local library called "A TRIP to the Center of the Earth," by Jules Verne. The main character was named Professor Hardwigg. Of course I've heard of "A JOURNEY..." by Verne. Now I learn the professor (main character...?) in that book is named Lindenbrock. The professor's nephew has a different name in each book too, but the Icelandic guide (Hans) is the same. From everything else I can tell, the settings, plots, etc., are IDENTICAL. Are they are or are they not the same book? HELP!!!! The book I read I loved, though. It was magical. I recommend it to everyone.

Summary: One of my favorite books
Review: Recently I read this book for school. I had liked the books "20,000 leagues under the sea" and "Around the world in 80 days". So I was expecting a good book. This book is magnificant. It takes a while before the team finally starts down to the center of the earth. But one good thing about this is the fact they don't use a drill to go down (They hike instead). Also, sorry to ruin the book, but they don't even make it to the center of earth. The book however is still enjoyable. A wonderous and excellent tale I would reccommend for fans of Jules Verne or of adventure stories.

Summary: Journey to the Centre of the Earth
Review: It was exciting, creative, and it related things to life to make it sound more relistic. I thought that the whole thing about a world inside Earth where dinosours still exist is pretty creative. When i was younger i wanted to go to the center of the earth just like they do in the book. This was before I knew about central heat and since scietists are a ton smarter than I am i will just believe this theory. This book was really weird but it was pretty good. The only bad thing was it took forever for the people to get to the center.

Summary: A Journey to the Center of the Earth
Review: I liked A Journey to the Center of the Earth, because it was filled with action. I recommend it to anyone into science-fiction. A good knowledge of geology would better help people understand parts of this book, because Jules Verne uses a lot of science terms and phrases. If you like crazy things this book is for you, because a lot of wierd things happen and are seen (sea monsters, humans, large mushrooms) while the main characters are in the interior of the earth. This book is filled with action and adventure. There is not more than two chapters that go by without a major event occuring. If you cannot read very long you can still enjoy this book, because most of the 44 chapters are around 5 to 7 pages in length. Overall this book is easy to understand and very interesting.

Summary: Adventure With A Twist
Review: The book started out slow, and it dragged on at parts, especially during the trip to Iceland. But, all in all, this was a very exciting book that mixed sci-fi with adventure. I especially enjoyed Verne's image of the possibilities of a land inside the Earth with prehistoric animals and giant forests of mushrooms.

Summary: Journey to the Center of the Earth
Review: The book seemed pretty long. The ending was too abrupt, considering how much detail the other parts were. Another thing that bugged me was the old style English. It was kind of hard to understand at times. Other than that, though, the book was great. Jules Verne went into great detail to describe their adventures. I liked the parts where you could read what the characters were thinking and feeling. I wouldn't recommend this book to readers who like their books fast paced and exciting every moment. At thirteen, my mom made me read this book. I wasn't very enthusiastic about reading it, but once I got into it, I finished it quickly and enjoyed it.

Summary: Talk about adventure
Review: Thankfully, geology was not as advanced in Verne's times as it is today. For it allowed him, a man of impressive imagination, to write about adventures in a fantastic journey to the center of the Earth. From Iceland to Italy, the travelers -typical Verne characters- experience the most fascinating and fearsome events. The way Verne depicts the deep underground is colorful and magical. The crossing of a wide sea, with a stone ceiling as sky, and pre-historic monsters fighting to death, is terrific. This is a wonderful book of adventures. The reader will find all sorts of surprises and vivid descriptions.
