This work was Journey to the Center of the Earth. Just the other day, I realized I had never read it. I loved the old movie and being the reader that I am, I could not believe my neglect.This is the translation of the Jules Verne original and I must say, at times the reading is rough. It was written and translated long ago so some of the words are...confusing as well as sentence structure and meaning. But even through all that I still enjoyed the read. I did find the main character a bit childish, whinney and silly and very self centered. I put it down to the day and age that the book was written. An enjoyable classic that I will probably never read again but glad I did read it once. I would recommend to all to read at least once in your lifetime.
