Snay-fell-uh… shh… yuckle?

Journey to the centre of the Earth has a special place in my heart. It was one of the first audiobooks I had as a child - on a tape with sound effects and (from what I remember) an amazing voice cast.

I think relistening to a more adult version was always going to be disappointing, and honestly some of the remembered magic of the story was missing.

That said, I still love the Icelandic themes and adventure. The difference between Lindenbrock, Axel, and Hans, is way more obvious and meaningful to me now as an adult.

A fun read from the father of sci-fi.
