Great fun!  I enjoyed this epic adventure into the "center" of the earth.  I remember seeing the movie as a kid--my mother was even more enthusiastic about the movie than I was.  Well, of course, her name was Gertrude, the same name as Han's pet goose.  However, Gertrude did not appear in the book.  Vernes' adventures are very serious and engrossing--no Spielbergish humor, thank goodness. I am so glad I discovered these books late in life when I was willing to give them a chance.  Even more engrossing and fun is Vernes',  The Mysterious Island.  That one was my first of his adventures and what I consider to be his masterpiece--at least until I find one I like even more.
