Book Reviews of Around the World in Eighty Days

Book Review: Around the world in 80 Days
Summary: 5 Stars

Since I had long ago read this book, I bought its audio version only because Jim Dale is the reader. As he has done with the Harry Potter series, Mr. Dale makes each and every character in the story come alive, presenting you with a delightful mental vision to match the unique voices he provides. Obviously, the story itself is a timeless masterpiece, but Jim Dale is a master performer, both on stage, film, television, AND audio books. Thank you, Mr. Dale! I highly recommend this version of this classic adventure.

Summary of Around the World in Eighty Days

Shocking his stodgy colleagues at the exclusive Reform Club, enigmatic Englishman Phileas Fogg wagers his fortune, undertaking an extraordinary and daring enterprise to circumnavigate the globe in eighty days. With his French valet Passepartout in tow, Verne's hero traverses the far reaches of the earth, all the while tracked by the intrepid Detective Fix, a bounty hunter certain he is on the trail of a notorious bank robber.

Combining exploration, adventure, and a thrilling race against time, AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS gripped audiences upon its original publication and remains hugely popular to this day.
