foregoparable 's review for:
Around the World in Eighty Days
by Jules Verne
At the 60% of the book, I was ready to give it three (or even two and a half) stars because the narratives started to bore me. By the last three chapters, I changed my mind. This book worth 3.5 stars for the fantastic ending that Verne provided us.
A friend once asked me what is so great about this book. She, a fan of traveling and such, has heard about it everywhere. As I finally finished it, the thick descriptions of every place the characters encountered—though much of it was based on colonialist-superiority-premises—is the most eyecatching (and at some point, boring) part for me throughout the reading process. Maybe this is one of the reasons why this book viewed as great.
