I know that this was originally published as an adventure serial and it definitely reads like that. The book was just kind of one whirlwind adventure after another with Passepartout throwing obstacles in the way the entire time. It was fine, but I like Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea better. Also I definitely was getting this one mixed up with Five Weeks in a Balloon because I definitely thought they would be in a hot air balloon for some of the journey. Whoops.

I would like to share my thoughts on the book "Journey to the Center of the Earth" by Jules Verne from the Nikol Verlag with you. Firstly, I must say that the beautiful covers of this book series immediately caught my eye. They are intricately designed and convey a sense of adventure even before reading the book.

Now to the content of the book: The story follows a young man named Axel who embarks on a journey to the center of the earth with his uncle, Professor Lidenbrock, and a guide named Hans. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and mysteries as they explore the depths of the earth. Will they make it back to the surface alive?

Although I am a big fan of Jules Verne's works, I must say that "Journey to the Center of the Earth" did not captivate me as much as some of his other books. The theme of the journey to the center of the earth is certainly intriguing, but it lacks the depth and complexity that I have come to expect from Verne's works.

Nevertheless, the book is well written and offers an entertaining adventure story that is definitely worth reading. Fans of Jules Verne and those who enjoy delving into fantastic worlds should definitely read this book. However, if like me, you prefer more challenging works, you may be slightly less impressed.

Overall, I would give "Journey to the Center of the Earth" three out of five stars.
