I found the parts of this book I enjoyed the most were in the beginning while the characters prepared for their trip and the journey down. The trip down was especially exciting and perhaps one of the scariest depictions of cave diving I have ever read. It stuck with me.
When the characters actually got to the the center of the earth I felt Jules Verne found a way to make this alien atmosphere feel dull. What should be the most exciting part of the story instead was sleep inducing.
Due to this I found the rest of the story lost all dramatic tension.
It was disappointing.
