It's taken me three different attempts to get into this book and I couldn't figure out why until now - I highly dislike the main character, Axel. He is whiny and prone to hysterics and a bit of a wuss to boot. It doesn't help that the first few chapters are pretty dull and more technical, either. Things do pick up eventually, though.

It never takes me so long to get through a book - it just doesn't hold my interest like Around the World in 80 Days, and even if I was kind of meh on 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, at least it had enough excitement to keep me engrossed. Journey to the Center of the Earth is just kinda dull - like reading a geology text book with only occasional intrigue and interpersonal development.
