" Wasn't sure if I could make through phrases such 'crusty Jew' but found myself getting sucked into the adventure :) read it with view to reading to class, but the language/references to opium might not be too suitable... Not as much seeing the world as I would have liked but a fun period book. "

" I love this book. Interesting to see all the different ways he travels around the world. It also goes to show in the end...even the simplest things compound the wise. "

" The audio version read by Jim Dale is entertaining. My 12- and 9-year old daughters loved it too. "

" A solid story, as most "classics" are, Verne spins an entertaining tale. While it's a little mild compared to some of today's thrillers, you can imagine how it was pretty ground breaking stuff in the late nineteenth century. Short, easy to read, I recommend it to fans of classics. "

" No words to describe this novel. One of my initial novels, I will never forget the story. I imagined the time the story is set and the imagination Jules Verne had. "

" This was my very first Jules Verne book and I liked it a lot. Very funny and at times, touching. I'm definitely gonna read more of his Voyages Extraordinaire. "

" Every time I read this book I think that it is an even better read than the others. I noticed this time that it is quite the accomplishment considering that Jules Verne did not travel the route that Philieas Fogg traveled and was able to do all the research for not being able to access google etc...

" Wonderful, wonderful book! Fast paced and at some points quite funny, and every bit as enjoyable as the Abridged Children's Classics version I used to read repeatedly. Thumping good read. "

" i didnt love it. i took forever to read it. maybe thats why i didnt like it, it seemed to drag on until the end. i liked the ending, a twist. and love too, who doesnt like a fairy tale ending. im wondering if i should watch that movie they made about it. just to compare. "

" not bad, tho not really what i would deem a classic. the writing feels like a children's book, but i feel like the story itself would not have appealed to me as a kid. I wouldn't say you should avoid it, but it's nothing to put at the top of your list either. "
