The Last Boy and Girl in the World
Get even. Get revenge. Just don’t get caught.
Max Cobb is sick of being “Just Max”, the kind of guy whose resume boasts a measly 2.5 GPA and a deep love of heist films. So when an invitation appears in his locker to join the anonymous, untraceable, epic prank-pulling Chaos Club, Max jumps at the opportunity. Paperback | Kindle book

2.0 out of 5 starsGreat original, but this edition is very poor
By Brent Butler TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on June 14, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition
This has been a favorite story of mine since childhood. In addition to liking the book, I'm also a fan of both the David Niven movie and the Piers Brosnan mini-series. This story is great stuff.

However, this translation is dry as dust. The edition I read decades ago was interesting and lively. This translation is devoid of excitement, and there is very little dialogue. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is also abridged, which would make sense for a cheap version of a printed book, but makes no sense at all in an ebook.

I cannot recommend this edition of this book whatsoever. I consider it to have been a waste of time. I may do some research on various translations and see if I can find a better one. If Verne's original writing had been as bad as this translation, we'd never know his name. LOL

5.0 out of 5 starsEnjoyable read
By Andrea C. on April 18, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
My twelve year old son and I read this book concurrently, and we both enjoyed it very much. Fogg's travels provide a wonderful world geography lesson, especially if locations of his travels are mapped during the reading. Not only did we learn about geography, Fogg models a superb example of many virtuous characteristics not found in any form of media today. He exhibits self-control, patience, love and self-sacrifice, generosity, gentleness, determination, and even grit! I wish there were authors around today such as Jules Verne. Although this book was read primarily for academic reasons, we gained so much more from it than expected!

5.0 out of 5 starsStands the Test of Time!
By Obi Wan TOP 500 REVIEWER on February 25, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This book really holds up from my youth. When it was written, circumnavigation of the globe was a HUGE endeavor at any speed. Doing it in 80 days was a ridiculous notion. So the book was a pure action novel in it's time.

Today I can completely circle the Earth in 24 hours if really wanted to for the cost of a few plane tickets that are publicly available. (Or I could join the space program and circle the entire planet in a little under 90 minutes) So in today's society, Around The World in 80 Days isn't exactly an action story.

But it's still a GREAT adventure story! As a kid I read this book and thought it was an amazing adventure. Of course back then just going around the world at any speed sounded amazing. As a kid I barely knew what other States were, much less the other side of the world. When I re-read this recently as an adult, I was worried that I'd destroy my memory of the novel by seeing it in a less interesting light now that I've actually been all over the world.

I didn't. It was just an amazing as the first time I read it as a child.

Some of Jules Verne's books hold up like that over the years. Some don't. He was one of the most creative futurists of his day. But now the things he saw as existing in the distant future are things that we read about in history books. Sadly, the passage of time dulls some of Verne's amazing works. But Around The World in 80 Days absolutely stands the test of time!

5.0 out of 5 starsAn entrancing and adventure filled book
By Stephen Gates on July 26, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I read Around the World in 80 Days in 2 days and could not stop reading for hours on end. The story kept me exulted the whole time and I liked the way it went into the very different personalities of Passepartout, Mr. Fogg and Fix. The book had an excellent plot with the most unexpected twists and the descriptions of the different cultures and other things of interest were great. I would highly recommend this book as well as 20,000 Leagues Leagues Under the Sea and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

5.0 out of 5 starsOh Phileas
By Lydia M on August 10, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I loved this book so much! Phileas Fogg makes a wager he can travel the world in 80 days. The book follows his journey, which is so fun. Along the way he travels by train, boat, elephant, and more. The dialogue is excellent, and the story is so fun!

I would recommend this book to pretty much everyone. It's a classic adventure story. Who doesn't love a good adventure? The plot is fast-paced, and the dialogue is well-written. The book is also very descriptive, which makes the journey seem very believable.

Phileas is such a great English hero. He never gets flustered or shows worry. He just does what he has to do to succeed. Passpartout, his servant, is a great character, too. He doesn't initially want to travel the world, but he quickly becomes very enthusiastic for the journey.

By Jamie W. on August 3, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Phileas Fogg is a betting man and bets his cohorts at a local gentlemen's club that he can make it around the world in 80 days. They don't believe it can be done and they take his bet, 20,000 pounds. Fogg and his French servant, Passepartout, leave London immediately on their journey. Fogg has planned the trip meticulously, but any delay can cause huge problems with making a connection to another leg of the journey. They will travel through India, Hong Kong, across the ocean to San Francisco, to New York, and back across the pond to London. They'll travel by train, ship, and any other means necessary to win the wager.

This was a really fun book. I didn't expect to enjoy it nearly as much as I did. I assumed it would be a boring tale of a journey and feel really outdated. I was pleasantly surprised. I felt like I was learning a bit about world travel in days gone by and I really enjoyed the excursions and incidents Fogg and Passerpartout got into (and somehow out of). Passerpartuout was definitely the hero of the tale for me. He seemed to get the most out of the adventure and had the most interactions with local people in ensuring the journey was successful (outside of Fogg just paying money). They definitely had many adventures around the world. So glad I got to this one finally.

A fun read, and the adventuring Victorian flavour is still appealing today. Not surprizing there have been several film remakes. It still captures the imagination.

Such a classic. Better written than I remembered. So many of our cultural references can be found in these pages.

I liked this rather more than I expected. It reads very visually, like a streamlined Tom Cruise movie. Mission Impossible the prequel.

Great adventure book. Once you're about halfway through, look up Phileas' servant's name, Passepartout. It's a great little easter egg. Read more
