AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS

By Jules Verne

Whatever any one might say,but I absolutely loved this book.Indeed,it is famous for a reason. It is a rather simple story,something that might remind you of Enid Blyton or Roald Dahl.But of course in a mature way.
It is a very informative,knowledgeable and an extremely well written book.You will find yourself traveling through out the world along with Phileas Fogg.We get to see Fogg passing through different cultures and also saving a young women from being burned alive. And you also get to learn a lot of geography and history,while being quite unaware of that fact,and i think that is what makes this book so cool.

If you find it child like, then i bet you find Agatha Christie,Rowling,R.L. Stevenson extremely child like as well.And so I'd suggest you not to read the book.

Otherwise, i think you should rush and grab a copy,because this book totally rocks!
