Publisher's summary

Jules Verne's unforgettable adventure tale Journey to the Center of the Earth takes on new life in this special edition.

In the midst of examining an ancient Icelandic manuscript, professor and mineralogist Otto Liedenbrock and his nephew Axel make an astonishing discovery. A secret parchment lies hidden in the pages, and on it a puzzling message in code: Descend, bold traveler, into the crater of the jokul of Sneffels...

Thus begins a thrilling scientific quest that takes the professor and Axel from Hamburg to Iceland, down a volcanic crater, and deep into the center of the earth - where they uncover a breathtaking subterranean world unlike anything they ever imagined.

The extreme details that no movie was worthy of.

I felt the nephew whined to much, like a child. However, I liked how the Icelanders role was cast.

Brief review

An excellent classic science fiction adventure focusing on the journey traveled by the main character both through the mantle with his uncle, but also the journey through himself from elation to despair.

Center of Earth

It was interesting to review what science fiction was like over 150 years ago. The formal writing style is a bit different. In this era of computer generated animation to visualize in your mind what Mr. Verne has written about this is fascinating.

The Center

Upon this, my first reading, I was captivated by the scientific research and use of the vocabulary . Realistic, engaging and enjoyable.

Classic Book but no Modern Adventure

This book was great. I enjoyed it fully and Derek Perkins narrated it very well. My only regret was the quickness in its conclusion. For me at least, but it was worth listening to and I’m glad I did.

What lies beneath....

Fantastic underground adventure. Wonderful reader. Chapters are short so you want to keep listening. (Just one more chapter... You'll say that a lot!) This is a fine presentation of a solid classic. Absolutely worth the $ or credit.

Classic Science Fiction

Great story. We’ll written, the narrator did a great job to capture the perspective of all the characters.
