This review is from: Around the World in 80 Days (Great Illustrated Classics (Abdo)) (Library Binding)

I thought it was ok but I didn't like it generally because it takes forever to get the story started. In the beginning of the book its about London and Gentlemen Clubs in London and things like that. Once he gets the bet going then it gets a little bit more exciting. He goes to places you can only imagine in the book. Like India and China, its really cool. Then he also goes to places that you went to and you like to see what the author said it was like. When she writes about the places you visited you like to see what she said about that place. Like she writes about Utah and she writes about polygamy and the buffaloes and things like that. Then through out the book he runs into big problems. Like he took the wrong turn here or there. He rides a broken Boat so that he can make it to London on time. So it gets exciting when y0ou see that he has a problem to get around but it takes forever to get to those problems.
