Funny with today's technology to reflect that this story at it's time was such a long shot; to travel the world in 80 days was something unheard of and impossible. Nearer to the beginning I had hesitations that this story would move to slowly and squander my interest, but was pleasantly surprised by the almost "catch me if you can" storyline at play and the final morals of the conclusion. I did appreciate the disclaimer at the end, outlining Verne wrote with a broad brush, with bias of his background and time.
