A book that my older son loves
Jules Verne's classic. An entertaining story even now - more than a century after it was writtn
A classic!
A must have in every home!
I liked this book. It is one of the better classics everyone should read.
This book is about a man's wager to go around the globe in 80 days.He has to go by train, steamship, and even an elephant!
One of the world's favorite adventure stories, the vigoruous and exciting tale Around the World in Eighty Days records the travela of Phileas Fogg, an English gentleman and his French manservant, Passeparout, on their fantastic journey of a lifetime around the world.
Interesting, fun and adveturous.....
Classic science fiction, masquerading as a classic fiction book. Also turned into movies, so many people familiar with this story.
A great deal of fun! This classic from 1873 manages to follow Phileas Fogg around the world, with delays and rescues and drama, and still provide a twist at the end. Highly recommend!
