Publisher's Summary

Journey to the Center of the Earth is one of literature’s earliest works of science fiction. It vividly animates a fantastical subterranean world as an intrepid crew, led by the eccentric Otto Lidenbrock, traverses the planet’s core and its various bizarre obstacles: giant mushrooms and insects, a herd of mastodons, prehistoric humans, a treacherous pit of magma, and more.

Tim Curry, narrator of the customer favorite A Christmas Carol, returns for an encore performance that delivers a range of distinct character voices and captures the energy and enthusiasm of a time when scientific exploration was a brand new adventure.

Came for Tim Curry, stayed for Jules Verne

Granted, I used it to fall asleep a few times but the story is surprisingly enjoyable for such an old book.

Tim Curry is the narrator what else do you need?

Tim Curry is amazing and fits the story well.
and it's classic sci Fi if you can Handel something old than its amazing. if you don't like old phrasing and actient people and events referenced as being modern people you won't like it. however if you like something old and trying to imagine something that old, then it's is amazing.

Great classic

This was a joy to listen to from start to finish. J. Verne's writing style adapts well to the narrated format, and Curry takes great care to embody each character's tone and personality. I wish they had added music or foley sound, but that's a personal preference. If you enjoy classic adventure, this is a great choice!

Un classique à lire

C'est un classique. L'histoire prend de l'âge, mais pour l'époque, c'est 5 étoiles. Et Tim Curry en fait une lecture intéressante à suivre.
