Around the World in 80 Days
by Jules Verne
This is a very indepth and likable story, with brilliant characters going on their eponymous journey around the world. Unfortunately, the story flags in the middle and it took a snails pace of paragraph-by-paragraph of reading for me to get through it. It picked up near the end again, though, and was just as good as it started out to be.
Despite my lack of five star rating, I would say it's a must read. Though perhaps if there's an abridged version somewhere, you might find that makes a better reading. What was good was good, there's just a lot of waffle surrounding those good bits. Very well written, and actually quite modern for the times!
