To the Center of the Earth by Greig Beck
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Three novels – To the…Return to the…Escape from the…This review addresses the entire series.
All novels portend a solid reason for going on the perilous journey – one book because of a woman’s memories of being there before, one because the Russians are going and America needs to stop them, and one to rescue someone who is still there. Ghouls and deadly creatures of all descriptions live down there, in everything – from the caves to flora to fauna to a blood-red sea. Dozens of creepy descriptions of one grizzly thing after another…after another…after another….after ……. well, you get it, right?
Found myself pushing fast-forward quite a bit – because, well, if you’ve seen one creature the size of a house with fangs and slime dripping from eyeballs who is ready to eat you – you’ve seen ’em all, right?
Fan of Jules Verne? Go for it; he is quoted many times. Otherwise, you’ll be rolling your eyes.
