– Jules Verne's famous book "Around the World in 80 Days" is truly a timeless classic! It's witty, charming, funny and entertaining from beginning to end, and it's certainly a read to embark upon sooner or later! The main character is Phileas Fogg, an eccentric Englishmen whose punctuality is famed and his impassive nature legendary, and his new valet, French former acrobat Passepartout, who only wants a quiet life to forget his turbulent past. With Fogg's fabled routine-driven life that you could set you clock by, peace and quiet for Passepartout seems assured. Until, that is, his new master returns home to announce that, as a result of a wager at the Reform Club, of which Fogg is a patron, he finds out that he has twenty minutes to get things ready for a trip across the globe - in just 80 days. Oh, I cannot praise this book enough, it's so funny and engaging, with characters and a plot that is thrilling and fascinating, this is truly a very good read, recommended to all readers of all ages! Very well written and entertaining all the way through, this is a classic indeed!
