Adventure Van here with a book report on Journey To The Center of the Earth, written by Jules Verne. Although some more scientifically or geologically inclined may know that traveling to the center of the earth is by no means a feasible feat for humans to accomplish even with our modern tools, and that we wouldn't have much to look forward to even if we did manage to get to the lava core of the planet, it has been and still is a common trend to wonder what sort of unknown magic or history lurks below us. In this appropriately named book, we follow Axel and his uncle, Professor Lidenbrock, venturing down below the earth in Iceland and discovering all the prehistoric beasts, strange structures, and the fate of the bold adventurer who came before them. It is not an extremely long or complex read, being just under 300 pages, but it has an intriguing writing style and is well thought out in the execution. It is certainly worth an afternoon read if you get the opportunity and the time.
Adventure Van, excavating away.
