tonisut 's review for:
Around the World in Eighty Days
by Jules Verne
A fun read. I had put off reading this because I saw the David Niven movie version years ago and didn't care for it, but this was an entertaining story. I think I enjoyed it more knowing that it had originally been published in serial form, and readers were so struck by it that they placed bets on whether or not Phineas Fogg would actually make it in 80 days. The pursuit by Inspector Fix of Scotland Yard strongly reminded me of Inspector Javert, but a worthwhile read.
