1.0 out of 5 stars Not the same book as the original "Journey to the Centre of the Earth.", January 25, 2009
By RebekahJF (Daytona Beach, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This is some sort of re-write, perhaps for American audiences? It's not nearly as good writing as the original. Get the original for free at [...]. The version I am reading was published in 1906.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Journey ..." holds up quite well!, November 10, 2008
Over the decades, I have read "Journey ..." a few times. Despite the years since it was written, it holds up quite well as a fantasy / Adventure! It is an enjoyable book and I think today's teenagers would like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars First 'Big Boy" Book, February 26, 2009
While watching the movie with the same title my son asked about the book that the main character was carrying around. I had to explain that the movie had references to the book and that the main characters used the book as research. My son was mystified. He asked if he could have the book to read it. I immediately called up the Amazon store on my iPhone and ordered the book for him. This specific version was so terribly inexpensive I could not go wrong (even better with my Prime account). A few days later the book arrived and my son began reading it. About a week or so later he has finished it and loved it. I noticed that he just checked out "20000 Leagues Under the Sea" so I think he has been bitten by the "Big Boy Book" bug. These books are among the first books he has read front to back that included NO PICTURES (yeah). It is great to see him dive into it like he did.
