I'm not sure if it's the writing style of Jules Verne, how the book was translated, or just how the book was written (since the main character / narrator is supposed to be a scientist), but this story reads much like a text book to me. I don't mind so much that the story is slow (not much really happens until the half way point or later, and what does happen is fairly tame), but this writing style make it difficult for me to get into. The main characters don't really get to anything of real interest until nearly the end of the story, which they run away from rather than investigating, and then get an "ex machina" return to the surface.
