Book Reviews of Around the World in Eighty Days
Book Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay. I am a little slow. I didn't realize until around Chapter 5 that Jim Dale was portraying all the characters. This is a fantastic production that includes sound effects with the reading. Because of Jim Dale's skill, our family actually felt like we were part of the story, rather than just listening to it. It is a great adventure story that includes beautiful descriptions of each stop along the way. Jules Verne helps the reader learn more about each culture and you actually feel like you are back in 1872. I think the only reason a person would not like this audio production is because they don't like the story itself. Otherwise it is fun for the whole family.
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.
