5.0 out of 5 stars
Why this Edition?
EXTRA'S IN THIS EDITION: This edition is packed with great extra's. 50 full page illustrations from the original publication, other smaller illustrations, old reviews, an 1895 article on Verne, a biography and an introduction by Mark Rich. This edition is certainly a tribute to Verne, and definitely a collector's item. STORY REVIEW: Jules Verne...

3.0 out of 5 stars
not griping enough
The first book I read by Jules Verne was 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. I couldn't put it down, so I collected other books by him. To my disapointment, I just couldn't get into Journey to the center of the Earth. I enjoyed trying to solve the encrypted riddle but I just could not get into the book.

Why this Edition?,
By SF Review "SF" (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journey to the Center of the Earth (Illustrated Collectors Edition)(SF Classic) (Paperback)
EXTRA'S IN THIS EDITION:
This edition is packed with great extra's. 50 full page illustrations from the original publication, other smaller illustrations, old reviews, an 1895 article on Verne, a biography and an introduction by Mark Rich. This edition is certainly a tribute to Verne, and definitely a collector's item. STORY REVIEW: Jules Verne explores a realm of fantastical possibilities deep within the bowels of the earth. The journey starts in the professor's study in Germany where an ancient parchment leads him and his nephew on an expedition to a remote mountain on Iceland. There they discover a deep chasm which leads the explorers to an amazing string of discoveries. There are vast oceans of water, giant mushrooms, storms, strange weather patterns, and a wide assortment of extinct creatures. This was Jules Verne's first dive into science fiction. A must read for any science fiction or fantasy lover. OVERVIEW: This was a great read, and possibly one of the most updated translations of the original French work. Loved the illustrations. Looking for a cheaper edition without all of the extra's: A Journey to the Center of the Earth (AD Classic) $6.95
