Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne

Book report

Philleas Fogg was a very precise man who led a quiet life. Until he bet 20,000 pounds to travel around the world in eighty days!

Accompanied by his faithful servant Passpartout, he embarks on a journey full of mystery, misfortune, adventure, treachery, and horror. But Detective Fix from Scotland Yard will stop at nothing to catch a suspect bank robber: Philleas Fogg!

Will Philleas Fogg and Passpartout succeed in being the first people to travel around the world in eighty days, or will Detective Fix sidetrack and imprison Philleas Fogg and Passpartout? This is a masterful book from the ingenious mind of Jules Verne and I believe you should read it.
