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.
Editorial Reviews
Noted geologist Professor Liedenbrock discovers a cryptic message hidden in the pages of an ancient volume purporting to show the way into the center of the earth. Liedenbrock determines to make this fantastic journey, insisting his 16-year-old nephew, Henry, accompany him. Tim Curry handles the verbal pyrotechnics of Verne’s classic adventure, capturing the sardonic wit and droll observations of 16-year-old Henry. Writing in 1864, when explorers such as Burton, Stanley, and Livingstone were charting the earth’s geography, Verne created the fantastical geography of the world below based on current scientific fact. With breathtaking surety, Curry’s performance takes listeners from Germany to Iceland to the bowels of the earth and back, providing humor and clarity.

Journey to the Center of Nothing
In general, I liked the whole storyline and how it was built up to the moment of revelation. The anecdotes of Alex and his beloved Grauben, professor Lidenbrock's stoic yet sudden humane spur-of-the-moment characterization grabbed my attention. In the end, it was more of a difference of opinion and expectations regarding the title's veracity and exactitude to the original set of events described by the author.

A good novel spoiled by a bad narrator
The narrator hasn’t read the book. He is just trying to bring his acting skills into an audiobook.
Sadly he messes up narration and spoils the story.
It’s too loud, too distracted without the import of the novel.
Please avoid movie actors narrated novels.
