While Journey to the Center of the Earth
is an interesting book, it really didn't do much for me. I was hoping for a Treasure Island-like adventure tale or even a Jurrasic Park-like science lesson. It may have been one or both of these for some readers, but Axel's incessant whining throughout the entire narration drove me to distraction. And maybe I'm more of a wanna-be anthropologist than geologist. Even so, the story had it's moments and I did find some of the scientific arguments fascinating.I wish I had a little more interesting insight for you on this one, but, alas, I do not. I see its value, but for me it's one of those that I'm glad I finally got around to, but I'm moving on now. . .

I read this years and years ago. I should pick it up again and find out if I have simialr feelings about it. I imagine myself as more of a anthropoligist too so maybe.
Heather ~ Let me know if you do. I'd love to know what you think of it!

I haven't read that one, but I read Around the World in 80 Days a long while back and remember enjoying it more than I anticipated. Did you read that one?
John ~ Not yet, but I plan on reading that and 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, which my husband said is fabulous.
