At the Earth's Core

This is pure, escapist, set your current knowledge aside, type of read.
Having said that, I enjoyed the book. I know that the rest of the series becomes better (at least I remember it that way)
This is Burroughs doing what he does, write a story that will let your mind disappear. Back when this was first printed there were no movie special effects, 3D screens, no ipods or MP4 movies and one of the ways to escape was to dive into this type of read.

No one writes like Burroughs, at least in my mind.
