I felt each and every place that was described in the book as if I was also with them. The second half of the book is very adventurous here, they discover incredible things, face life-threatening dangers, and this is where I found the real fun of reading this. I don’t know ancient things always make a story more interesting.

I loved the way Jules Verne started the story, a coded message in an ancient language found in an ancient book that shows them the path to the center of the planet. The scientific details and arguments are so persuasive that, for once, I even believed that the story is based on real events, and it is possible to travel to the center of the earth. If I talk about what I liked in the Journey to the Center of the Earth, I liked the scientific concepts Jules Verne used to write the story. The paperback edition of this book has a total of 240 pages, and you would be able to finish it within a week, considering an average reader. The story has first-person narration, narrated by Axel. The story has three major characters, professor Liedenbrock, his nephew Axel and a servant named Hans, who accompanied them in their journey. But as always, the book has more details and fun than the movie.


This movie is not entirely based on the book but used it as an inspiration. I had watched the 2008 movie The Journey to the Center of the Earth when I was in std. So, that’s how their journey begins, journey to the center of the earth.

And when they deciphered this 16 th-century code, they found a secret, information about a volcanic tube in a mountain of Iceland that goes to the center of the earth. The inciting incident of the story is when Professor Liedenbrock finds a coded note on a runic manuscript. Journey to the Center of the Earth is the story of Professor Liedenbrock and his nephew Axel. So, it’s more than 150 years old and is still a very interesting read. This book was first published in French in 1864 and then in English in 1871. Journey to the center of the Earth is a classic science fiction novel written by Jules Verne.
