Apparently the copy I found is the controversially poor original English translation. I'll probably find the more popular translation later.

i mean this was such a fun adventure to read. i loved how out there the characters and actual adventure was. the way that verne describes things in the book is so beautiful. the writing really was just so captivating. i’m excited to read more of vernes works! by far my favorite classic author i have read so far.

This was a very fun book! I can hardly believe it was written in 1864. I read it because I had never read anything by Jules Verne before. I can now say I will definitely read 20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea in the future.

El profesor Liddenbrok y Axel viven la aventura de su vida. Mucho se habla en el libro de datos científicos de su epoca asi como personajes y eventos. Cualquiera pensaría que es un libro pasado de moda, pero son este tipo de libros los cuales perduran en la mente de los lectores. Las aventuras narradas aqui mantiene al lector en suspenso.Llegarán algún día?, de verdad hay un centro de la tierra? y Qué es lo habita en él? Podemos a gradecer al Prof. Liddenbrok y a Axel por este opotunidad. Ah claro, y sin olvidarnos del confiable y fiel Hans.
