This novel contains one of the great adventures of all time. Numerous movies were made based on its premise of a world within a world. The novel also spawned countless copies of its plot.

A great adventure. It made me feel a little suffocated though, thinking that I was under all the earth. The adventure is very vivid.

I love this book! It is amazing how entertaining it really is!
This is one of the novels Verne tried to make both scientific, yet warm. The characters are very lovable.
The action, though mild, will still entertain you. Well worth reading!

A good kid version. Lots of typos. I hope the editor was fired.

This is one of Verne's best!
There is not a TON of action, but there are chapters that keep you reading!
Verne did a good job in this story of not getting too scientific. he gives enough detail to make you understand the surroundings, without boring you to tears.

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....

The book is written mainly for young children, the print is very large and there are many illustrations. I would not recommend it for adults - it can get kind of annoying when reading it. However, it is still a great book.
