Around the world takes the reader on a marvelous journey across many landsFun and courageous charactersNicely illustrated throughoutWill make a wonderful gift for young and oldIt seems that the copyright has expired and someone has "republished " it, somewhat disapointing ,given they will make money on someone else's workBUT its a wonderful and inspiring story

I enjoyed this book. The language was definitely from another era. It was very interesting to see the difference between them and now.

This book is super cool! It's a fancy version of "Around the World in Eighty Days." Nice pictures and a neat layout make the story come alive. Even if you don't read a lot, you'll like this.It's about a guy going on a big trip, and it's fun to follow along. I feel like I’m traveling from my comfy chair. It's a really good story about never giving up and seeing new places. You'll love it from the first page to the last.

This is a classic tale told only in the adventuresome way that Jules Verne can. The main character, Phileus Fogg is so calm cool and collected. He never gets upset or frets no matter what. His sidekick servant man is my favorite character though. He just bumbles into many difficult situations that his master has to get him out of. Their trip around the world is exciting and hair-raising. It makes you want to keep reading the whole thing to see if they make it before time runs out and Mr. Fogg loses the bet. Well-developed characters and fun to follow plot.

Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days" is a classic for a reason. This story has long captivated readers with its thrilling adventure and ingenious storytelling. This classic edition with original illustrations adds an extra layer of charm to an already enchanting tale.If you're into classic adventures and appreciate some beautiful artwork, this edition of "Around the World in Eighty Days" is definitely worth checking out. It's a journey you won't soon forget.

Plotline is good. But sometimes hard to understand. A classic for sure! Listen to with audio, much better

I ordered this book for my daughter’s school reading. It came quickly and was the exact edition needed.

Enjoyed this classic, glad I finally got around to reading it!

Brilliant stuff, I love it. “Make haste.”The journey of Phileas Fogg around the world is a timeless classic. I read all the classics as a child, my favourites were always ones that involved the sea - Treasure Island, Robinson Crusoe, Swiss Family Robinson.In later life, I read some works by Thomas Hardy and the Brontë sisters. Other childhood memories include Tom Brown’s Schooldays and tales like Ivanhoe.

Around the World in 80 Days" by Jules Verne is a thrilling adventure that captures the essence of Victorian-era exploration and innovation. The novel's clever plot and rich character development, make it an enduring and enjoyable classic. The addition of original artwork that is styled in the original style is a nice touch. A good read for anyone who has not ever followed the unflappable Phileas Fogg

It was entertaining to read 'Around the World in Eighty Days' again as an adult. It still has all the exciting adventure but the language and descriptions read so well. With all the modern writing it's nice to go back in time an enjoy a classic. Lovely illustrations depict the Victorian era. If you're an avid reader, young or old, you won't be disappointed by Mr. Phileas Fogg and his adventures.

I'd forgotten how much I love this story and it's characters. The period-appropriate illustrations make a lovely touch and really make you feel like you are there sharing the journey with Philias Fogg and Passepartout. Will be introducing this version to my children.
