About this audiobook
Jules Verne
Jules Verne (1828-1905) used a combination of scientific facts and his imagination to take readers on extraordinary imaginative journeys to fantastic places. In such books as Around the World in Eighty Days, From the Earth to the Moon, and Journey to the Center of the Earth, he predicted many technological advances of the twentieth century, including the invention of the automobile, telephone, and nuclear submarines, as well as atomic power and travel to the moon by rocket.

Reviews for The Underground City
4 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not one of his better known novels, the characters here are all totally unbelievable and the basic plot pretty daft (a common point made against Verne plots, but more than usually evident here), though there are some moments of quite good suspense. As a SAD sufferer I found the idea of so many people willing to live permanently underground quite horrible and entirely unfeasible. What comes across most clearly here is Verne's love of Scotland as some chapters are brain dumps of Scottish geography, history, culture and literature.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well structured and not too long, this is a good primer for those thinking of getting into other Verne stories.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was a fairly short and straightforward novel by Jules Verne with some exceptions that proved to be welcome surprises. Overall, the plot is engaging and the characters are provided with enough background, exploration, and originality as to make the tale appealing to me as a reader. This is a good Verne novel, and fans of his work should not skip this one.3.25 stars.
