I liked this character a lot, especially because of all the sarcastic remarks, most of which were directed towards his dear old uncle, Prof Liedenbrock. He is our practical-minded, logical, and pragmatic protagonist. The first, of course, is the narrator, Axel Liedenbrock. Aesthetic book display by Soyeenka Mishra Warning: this review may contain spoilers. When it wasn’t being a rollercoaster of astonishing discoveries and mortal perils, it served as a great source of fun, for I loved the underhanded humour evident in particular points. It wasn’t exactly what I expected it to be (thanks to prior knowledge of the well-known movie franchise), but don’t worry – that’s a good thing. Journey to the Centre of the Earth was a journey indeed, a fabulous adventure a classic piece of Sci-Fi lit straight from the 1860s. “As long as the heart beats, as long as body and soul keep together, I cannot admit that any creature endowed with a will has need to despair of life.”
