Phileas Fogg, a very punctual man had broken into an argument while conversing about the recent bank robbery. To keep his word of proving that he would travel around the world in 80 days and win the bet, he sets on a long trip, where he is joined by a few other people on the way. A wonderful adventure is about to begin!
Reviews with the most likes.
I was expecting more action, and although I like the classics, I didn't like this book too much. However, the characters were inusual and interesting.
It was a entertaining audiobook. Sometimes it was confusing.
I read this because I watched a couple of episodes of the BBC version of the book.
It didn't sound very Verne like. It is another case where they took the title and character names and threw out the rest of the original material. The book was tedious as Verne like to list the names of towns they pass through, weather conditions etc. But I enjoyed it overall and don't see that the BBC improved anything with its changes.
