Circumnavigate This, Jules Verne!
In 1872 Phileas Fogg wagers that he can circle the earth in 80 days.
Personal Review: Around the World in 80 Days (The Worlds
Best Reading) by Jules Verne
Note: Some immature Mormon has been slamming my reviews because I
wrote some negative reviews of books attempting to defend the Book of
Mormon.
So your "helpful" votes are greatly appreciated. Thanks
In my opinion, a short review is best if you haven't read the book. I always
read the longer reviews afterwards.
I read this book forty years ago in college and loved it. I also saw the
movie, but as one reviewer pointed out, Phileas Fogg traveled by boat,
train, car, sled, and even elephant, but never by balloon. The balloon
scene was added to the movie.
Nevertheless, I loved all of Jules Verne's stories, and I highly recommend
this one, whose title says it all--"Around the World in Eighty Days" on a bet
that it couldn't be done.
I enjoy collecting paperback books with neat covers, and I have a couple of
"Around the World in Eighty Days."
Oh, and I hope this is helpful. Read "The Other Log of Phileas Fogg," by
Philip Jose Farmer. This retelling of Verne's story has Fogg going after
Captain Nemo. It's great Fun. Farmer also wrote novels about Tarzan and
the "Barnstormer in Oz"--very sexy.
