Around the World in Eighty Days Audiobook

" Absolutely charming. I loved it! "

" I wish the book had included a map so I could have followed the journey step-by-step. Many of the countries' names had changed. Delightful read. "

" Well it took me just over 80 days to read this book - in french! Hard to know if some of the vocabulary I learned is even used in modern day french, and I now know a ridiculous amount of french nautical terms. Loved the phlegmatic Phileas Fogg! "

" I think that i will have to check out more Jules Verne. "

" Not my favorite.. Utterly unbelievable characters and stereotypes throughout. Slightly redeeming quality: the twist in the last two pages. "

" Very well written, but it had too many statistics for my taste. But what an adventure! I enjoyed reading about Mr. Fogg's journey around the world. "

" This was mildly entertaining, and at some points it was funny. It was a nice mindless read that I didn't really take anything away with me from. "

" A well-written classic novel. Everyone should read this book at least once. "

" Such a good book. I feel like I went and toured the world as it was in the early twentieth century. Plus the conflict between Fix and Phileas Fogg. I just love the character names! "

" Too dry, too long, too boring.. "

" Good fun following Mr. Fogg around the globe! "

" What a thrill this classic is, even in an age of relatively easy circumnavigation (cringe-worthy cultural stereotypes aside). Love to imagine the stirring of imagination and wanderlust it caused when it came out! "

" The audiobook narrated by Jim Dale is *especially* entertaining. It makes the book more enjoyable than just the (already enjoyable) adventure story. "

" LOVE THIS BOOK! CHECK THIS ONE OUT TODAY!! "

" i really liked Paspartout it is a really good book "

" Every book by Jules Verne just sparked my imagination - his words and descriptions are so vivid, I could close my eyes and see exactly what he was writing about "

" I think this was a good classic. Who doesn't like a good book to read while traveling, especially whil traveling? "

" Fabulous book!!five stars. I love this book so much because it has such an interesting story line and it is so well written, it really takes you in! "

" I realized last month that I had never read this book, and I'm so glad I finally did. Witty, hilarious and a classic by all definitions. The last few lines put a huge smile on my face. "

" It's Jules Verne. It's not fabulous - but it's not bad either. It was a fairly easy read. Nothing to rave about. "

" Delightful read. I loved the character. I know some people think he is creepy. By today's standards maybe, but I loved the idea of this even keel fellow, who is dependable, will do what is right and not get ruffled over obstacles. "

" I really liked this book. I like reading classics once in a while, and this is far better than the abridged version I read when I was 7. "

" a nice adventure book.....story of the adventure of Phileas Fogg and Passespartout........the only moral i got from here is: a man is incomplete without a woman..!!! "

" Maybe 2.5 stars. It had a sweet ending, but a lot of the book doesn't hold up well. There are a lot of pretty silly inaccuracies that keep it from actually helping you feel like you got to go around the world along with Fogg. "

" It is an enjoyable light read. While not quite early science fiction like "From The Earth to The Moon" or "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea", it still has the feel of adventure with new modern technology. I'd recommend this book to anyone with an interest in sci-fi or history. "

" What a fun read! I thoroughly enjoyed it "

" I really enjoyed this book. Surprisingly entertaining although it did drag at one or two places. Overall, loved it. "

" I loved this book!!! :) "

" This was an incredible book, and as with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, I couldn't see how Verne could have possible written it without actually carrying out the journey himself! An amazing book, very witty throughout and a very clever ending. "

" grrrrr! the book is full of racist and male chauvinistic quotes...i get that it was written at a different time...but it was ruined for me. Also, so fascinated with technology...instead of modern day IT revolution, the subject was speed in transport and communication. yuck! "

" I enjoyed the typically 19th century take on the "exotic" places in the world and I liked the story's unflappable hero. The ending felt "pat" though somehow and left me feeling deflated. "

" This was the first book I read on my new e-reader! I found it absolutely gripping! "

" This book is just so quaint, in these modern times and reflects so much of what we have lost as a society, that said its also a cracking story full of humour and wit, and always worth the time to read! "

" To think what we take for granted now. This was set in a time when we were starting to span the globe. This book would be a good one for a child entering high school. "

" Very entertaining book, though I am certain that the author never visited the Salt Lake valley. I found his explanations of Mormons darn funny! "

" Not my type of book. The part about Mormons was crazy. I also listened to this book, or I never would have finished it! "

" Simple story, simply written, simple characters. A light read, by not Verne´s best by any means. I enjoyed ´Journey to the Center of the Earth´ more than this. Not as fun and as detailed as I expected. "
