Around the World in Eighty Days (Abridged) Audiobook

" Oh I mean, Passepartout, what fun! Elephants and opium, oh my! But it was a little too in the style of Phileas Fogg himself (with a lot of focus on timing of ships and such) for my taste. Not to mention all the Rule Britannia colonialist stuff, which is always jarring, no matter how much you know it's of its time. "

" it doesn't appeal to me ,, i think it's a good way to waste your time "

" I had to read this book in class this past year and I did not enjoy myself at all. I often day dreamed and went off track because, for me, the writing was hard to understand. However, I thought the very end was actually really fascinating and a good little twist. "

" jules is the best.. just love his books... hats off to 'the father of science fiction'... "

" started off well, then I got bored. might go back to it at future date. "

" Jules Verne was one of the first and still one of the best Science Fiction/ Adventure writers of all time. "

" long ago i have finished it but still it make me smile and more motivate to give a decision and be sure that you can do any thing if u belibe that u can do .... :) "

" Very entertaining good old fashioned adventure. Nothing fancy or incredibly inciteful, just fun. "

" i liked the movie better :)))) "

" Difficult to believe this classic Victorian tale was actually written by a Frenchman. Was he taking the piss? Such an adventure over 100 years ago. Trains, ships and boats but not the balloon of the film. A book that everyone should read. "

" The whole time I was thinking "Man, this guy is all class and no emotion!" Little did I know what would turn the whole book around on the very last page ^_~. "

" Around the World in Eighty Days is a non stop action book which follows Phileas Fogg and this manservant on a journey around the world. This is a fun little quick read which doesn't require much concentration. I would recommend for anyone who likes reading classics! "

" This is a fun adventure story. It would be even more fun if Phileas Fogg wasn't so effing glorified. And if you'd get to know more about the countries they travelled. And if there was a hot air balloon. Oh, well. "

" Classic. A must read for all the adventure buffs out there. "

" I never read this in high school, actually I manage to skim or cliff notes most classics in english class My son asked me to read this with him and after about 30 pages of very descriptive language it settled into a nice action story. "

" Pretty funny, and more entertaining than Journey to the Centre of the Earth. "

" This was the most fun Jules Verne I have so far! Great characters and engaging to story. Highly recommend. "

" This book (much to my surprise) rocked my socks. I listened to the audiobook version, read by Jim Dale. It was really fast-pased and Jules Verne's unsavory depiction of 20th-century Americans is hilarious. Passepartout was my fav! Four stars. "

" O carte superba pentru adolescenti. Mie mi-a placut foarte mult si am savurat fiecare pagina. Daca cineva vrea o carte buna de aventuri asta cu siguranta se califica. "

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