Journey to the Center of the Earth- entry 4

This books plot is moving very fast and once again has become a great book.  Hans and the professer came and find Harry in the beggining in the labyrinth.  This part made me very happy that Harry was saved.  They then treat his wounds and he gets rest for a day.  They continue walking and spot a vast sea with a forest of 40 foot tall mushrooms.  This event caught me off gaurd.  It is teeming with life and is lush.  Their guide Hans makes a raft and plans to go to the sea. So they set off, going at a very rapid pace, travelling almost 30 leagues in 24 hours.  They got hungry so they went fishing and caught a fish that was supposedly extinct millions of years ago.  Hans catches many of these exotic fish and soon spots large turtles and serpents.  These animals are huge and larger than islands which awed me.  While on the raft, two serpent like creatures start viciously before diving underwater.  The dead ones body just floats on the top of the water.  I would love to see this fight.  Would you like to read this exciting book? Chapters 21-25
