I love this book a ture classic. The extent of the imagination of Jules Verne is just mind boggoling. No corners are cut, nothing is left unfinished, just through and excellent writing ( )

This is a fun book - much more humorous than I'd expected. The language can get somewhat arduous at times but overall it's a pretty fun read. ( )

This book is about a guy named Axel, his uncle, and how they go on a journey. Axel's uncle is a professor that teaches about mineralogy. One day he comes home with a piece of paper. It tells about a journey to the center of the earth. When Axel hears about this he thinks his uncle is crazy but his uncle drags him along. Many things end up happening on the journey but to find out if they make it READ the book!

I didn't like this book because it was to scientific and confusing to me. ( )

In this book a man and his uncle go to the middle of the earth. It was ok but it would be better if the author had used smaller words. ( )

I thought that this book was very boring. It was basicly teaching me about science. The word hypothesis was even used more than once. It was very slow moving and drawn out. ( )

It was a secret message by an ancient alchemist, found on a crumbling scrap of parchment. And if Saknussemm was right, then every theory about the molten core of the earth is wrong. Prof. Otto Lidenbrock has to learn the truth. So Lidenbrock, his nephew Axel, and the Icelandic hunter Hans climb down the cone of an arctic volcano and into...

A realm of awesome mystery, weird beauty--and deadly peril. Where vast caverns and endless mazes lead to an underground ocean, living fire, and prehistoric monsters. But where any wrong turn, any misstep, can leave the explorers forever trapped in the eternal darkness of a planet-sized tomb...

Buried alive at the heart of the world....
