Finally got around to reading Around the World in Eighty Days. Listened to the audiobook and it was wonderful! There was more to the plot than I had fist thought and it was funny. The narrator was wonderful. I'll definitely be reading more Jules Verne!

This book is an adventure novel in its truest form.
Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne is a classic novel following a prim man and his servant as they embark to circle the world in 80 days because of a bet. I don't want to get too specific since the book is so short, but I will say they make friends along the way and are followed by a detective throughout and it is pretty lighthearted despite how dated parts of it are. In the end, I found myself rooting for the characters, which I feel is a sign of a good book. I appreciated how approachable of a novel this book is, as often books that are deemed classics tend to use language that can be difficult to read; however, this novel is very straightforward in its language. I think this book would be a good place to start for people looking to get into classics.
