I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this book. Verne sets up a great scenario as Fogg ventures off to make it around the world in 80 days to win a bet. He is cool as troubles come his way, showing patience and ingenuity to solve problems. The story shows the power of perseverence, how to handle others in crisis, and the calmness with which to deal with disappointment. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend to all readers.

It took me forever to finish this book. Not my favorite Sonlight book. Level F.

I found this a difficult book to read, because the writing was tough to understand. I wasn't drawn to the characters and not interested in what happened. I read the whole thing because I am studying an extract from this book for an exam.

This book is full of great descriptions of the 1800's world - it would be amazing to someone who was fascinated by the geography of the time. But that's the only positive thing I have to say. I found this so boring - the characters were boring, the plot was boring, the writing was boring. There were parts and quotes I liked, but for the most part I found this book forgettable.
