Terrific chat! When I was a mere lad, there was a Saturday morning cartoon show of Journey to the Center of the Earth. I can still hear it’s adventurous theme song in my mind that played throughout the show. It inspired me to start digging a tunnel in the back yard with A. S. marked over the entrance until my dad put a stop to it. I guess he was worried about my grandmother’s petunias and the lava drainage.
Great Review. I recently read Journey to the Center of the Earth also (the version I read was actually called Journey Into the Interior of the Earth). I had read it as a kid and wanted to see what I would think of it now. I enjoyed it a lot. As far as other books from that time, I also recently read 3 other early Jules Verne novels: Five Weeks In A Ballon, The Adventures of Captain Hatteras, and From The Earth to the Moon. I liked the first 2. I didn't like the third one that much. Of the 4 books, I Journey to the Center of the Earth was the clear favorite for me.
Yup, Journey to the Interior of the Earth was what it was called in my collection of Verne stories, but everyone knows it as Journey. I'll be reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea this year too :)
This one was a fun adventure. If you like the hollow earth stuff, have you tried the Pellucidar series by Edgar Rice Burroughs? I’ve read the first one so far (At the Earth’s Core), and that was a neat adventure as well.
Oh cool! I just read this like a month ago! Well, I listened to the audiobook and bought a Jules Verne partial collection. So cool. By the way. I gave you a mention in my last video!
I've only seen the movie from the 60's. I should really sit down and watch the one filmed with Brendan Fraser (I'm guessing you are referring to this one?)

Hah, yup, the lava drainage would be a hazard :) Great story, thanks for sharing :)

I've not read anything from Edgar Rice Burroughs. Thanks for the recommendation :)

I have the collection on my eReader and, at 10,000 ePages, it's putting pressure on my old reader :p Thanks! I'll have to check that video out :)
Hearing this review makes me want to watch the movie again 🤗
I'll have to watch the movie - you are now the second person to have referenced it :)
This sounds like a fun book! I enjoyed the movie, but I’ve never read the book.

@@ReadbyFred yep that’s the one. It’s quite fun.
Sounds interesting. 😃
Professor Lindenbrock was a zany professor. It was a great read :)
