 Rating:  - Its hard to top a good round-the-world-on-a-bet story"The Whole Story" edition, with marginal notes and photos to describe the story. The graphics don't always add much to the story, but never detract from the simple, straightforward telling of this round-the-world-on-a-bet story. Just enough drama, comedy, and love interest to keep the story moving at a crackling pace, without ever sidetracking the reader from the basic 80-day timetable that must be met. I was actually a bit sad at the journey's end for Fogg and his companions, until ... Read More Rating: - Circumnavigate This, Jules Verne!I finally had the chance to read Jules Verne's classic tale of the eccentric Englishman and his famous bet. Just to round out the experience I also watched the Mike Todd film, also a classic with an endless collection of superstars including David Niven and cameo appearances by Charles Boyer, Frank Sinatra, Noel Coward and Edward R. Murrow. The story was written in serial for the magazines and this adds to the richness as each chapter tells a story. My favorite part is Paspartou and ... Read More Rating:  - Great Adventure BookAround the World in 80 Days is an adventurous book. Mr. Fogg is a man that will do just about anything to win his 20,000 dollar bet, like spending as much money as he wants to get where he needs to. Throughout his journey his mood will change. O gave this book three and a half stars out of five because it had a lot of interesting parts with just the right amount of reality. I like this book and can see it being well known for many years to come. Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne is a fun, adventure ... Read More Rating: - A Grand AdventureNote: 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, ... Read More Rating:  - Free SF ReaderA book based around a bet. Two adventurers, one a gentleman, and one not so nice, make a not so small wager, on Fogg's ability to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days or less. When something like that happens, of course there will be villainous nogoodniks trying to stop you from accomplishing your task, winning the bet, getting the girl and all the good grog, etc.
