A Journey to the Center of the Earth, also known as A Journey to the Interior of the Earth, is a pioneer science fiction adventure novel written by Jules Verne and published in 1864. It chronicles the voyage of a team of scientific explorers who are trying to delve deeper into the earth than anyone has before.
I read this book to better familiarize myself with early science fiction. I finished it in 2015.
Status
I don't own this book, but have listened to an audio book recording.
Review
I found this to be quite dry. Also, since modern science has long since shown the entire story to be impossible, it requires a great suspension of disbelief to accept.
