Although published in the nineteenth century, Journey to the Centre of the Earth has lost none of its power and potency to excite and engage the modern reader. The novel has been filmed many times, but nothing can compare with the thrills and excitement generated by the written narrative. It is supreme escapist entertainment for all ages.

Ronny K – 15.02.2005

– Jules Verne er jo berømt for å ha vært svært forut for sin tid med sine historier om undervannsbåter, flyvemaskiner med mer, men i denne boken må man vel si han gikk på en liten smell. Hans fortelling om vitenskapsmannen flankert av den vanlige unge assistenten og litt mer hardbarkede arbeideren tar oss med inn i en innhul Tellus hvor forhistoriske monstre hersker og magnetiske stormer og lyn herjer havene. Masse inkonsistente ting å ergre seg over for naturvitenskapsmenn altså. Poenget her er at denne romanen er en komedie, og er slett ikke ment å være særlig seriøs. Den er faktisk ganske fornøyelig, Vernes humoristiske talenter er nok undervurdert. Men ta ikke mitt ord for det. Les den selv.
