Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne


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.
