TITLE: Journey to the Centre of the Earth
AUTHOR: Verne, Jules
GENRE: Science Fiction
MY RATING: 3/5
DATE FINISHED: 7/9/2011
It was lovely reading yet another classic, but I'm definitely glad that I finished it right during the start of my vacation. I can't say that this book classifies as a "beach read". I had a 16 hour road trip on the way down to my vacation, and I finished the majority of Journey to the Centre of the Earth on the way there.
I must say, the adventurer's visit to the center of the Earth was an extremely short one. There were a few exciting chapters, but they were very wordy (as is the language of Verne). However, the descriptive sections were interesting enough. As far as classics go, this was wonderful. I enjoyed it a lot more than I anticipated I would.
