This was a fun and easy read and gave insights into the mining industry of the past in Scotland. I am fascinated by mining and always liked Jules Verne as a kid. Then, I found this title I had somehow missed. Interesting of how I dreamed about the story just before my book arrived from the U.K.Product details

THE UNDERGROUND CITY Annotated eBook Jules Verne Reviews
The story line is a little far-fetched, but somewhat plausible. It is a fun book to read. The characters are fun to read and the plot is pretty good, too. Not the best book in the world, but worth reading if you're bored some winter day.
With so many formula cookie cutter books being published these days, it's refreshing to find this little known gem by the famous Jules Verne. While not his best book, Verne was still better on his weaker days than many others writers on their best days. Well worth the price. You won't be disappointed.
Interesting.
Interesting story, holds your attention well through most of it...
This has to be one of the worst translations from French to English. The person was obviously ignorant of English and, probably, of French. I ended up downloading via iv.gilead.org a translation done in 1877 that was wonderful. This version gets three stars.
I have purchased Underground City by Jules Verne and what has downloaded has the cover of the Underground City and the content of Goethe's Sufferings of Young Werther (and a coarse, grating translation to boot). Nothing of Verne's text.
I would like to start off by applauding and the publisher for printing this relatively obscure title. A reader looking for the mainstream works by Verne has multiple options - those of us who want to read a larger selection of his works ...must search!
"The Underground City" is a relatively short but entertaining novel. The first 100 pages read very fast - and reminded me strongly of "Journey to the Center of the Earth". The final 80 pages were a little more hoo-hum... and I was left disappointed in the ending. In fact, the novel was a little disjointed - and I wondered if this was one of the woks that was finished by Verne's son after his death (Which I still do not know).
Some reveiwers find the story unrealistic... well that is to be expected by Verne. While many think of his works as "Science Fiction" I think they have moved to the genre of fantasy. Verne transports you to a time and place where science was seen as having limitless possibilities... now in the 21st century we better understand what is possible and what is just our imagination.
"The Underground City" is a typical work by Verne. Certainly not his greatest work - it really doesn't compare to "The Mysterious Island". Yet, most fans will be satisified that they were able to find and read something that is just "typical" Verne.
This was a fun and easy read and gave insights into the mining industry of the past in Scotland. I am fascinated by mining and always liked Jules Verne as a kid. Then, I found this title I had somehow missed. Interesting of how I dreamed about the story just before my book arrived from the U.K.
