This is the third novel written by Jules Verne that I have read. I enjoy his combination of science and imagination (I am a geologist). His writings reveal interesting historical data also. <br><br>I found "The Underground City" to be a wonderful love story. It very nicely illustrates the love of the coal mines by the engineer, and the Ford family. (It shows the love of hate by Silfax, too.) It also illustrates the love of Harry Ford and Nell for each other. Unlike modern movies, I was enthralled by the suspense. I enjoy the euphoria from reading Jules Verne novels.
