Once again Verne makes use of fainting as a means to gloss over the details of difficult transitions in the action. Oh well, it's still captivating and fun to read.

Reads like an ordinary tale of two people going into a volcano which supposedly could give them access to the center of the earth. It may sound wondrous, but it is basically o journal log with detailed descriptions of geology and geography.

This book made me feel agoraphobic...in a good way. Tim Curry's narration was sublime, as usual.
