Two-thirds of the novel are didactic dissertations on geology, mineralogy, zoology, paleontology, devoid of any interest even for the reader who has a scientific background.

 This alleged dramatization ends up being comical in the end.

This review critiques Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth as a largely dull and didactic novel with excessive scientific exposition and weak dramatic impact. While the central concept holds promise, the novel fails to captivate. The reviewer prefers the 1959 Levin film adaptation for its improved narrative and interest. Overall, the novel's long list of scientific details overshadows its adventure potential. Discover why this classic novel might not meet your adventure expectations—read the full review or watch the acclaimed film adaptation!
