It will still be worth reading in another hundred years., June 17, 2000

This review is from: Around the World in Eighty Days (Hardcover)
Verne is of course known as a science fiction pioneer, but this book -- with little or no sci-fi content -- is his best. From the wager in the gambling rooms of the Reform Club to adventures around the world, to the surprise ending that is among the most clever twists in the history of popular fiction, ATWIED is an enduring classic.

This review is from: Around the World in Eighty Days (Hardcover)
I was hooked from the first page! I mean, it's absolutely riveting when you make a rash bet and go trampling round the world with a carpet-bag, twenty thousand pounds, a reluctant servant-man, and later acquire your wife as well
