Nano Book Review reviewed Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne

The old style of adventure, entertaining, but not enthralling

4 stars

Mr. Fog goes on a romp around the world to prove a bet, that it can be done in less than 80 days. It comes down to the wire, as you would assume it just, and yet the ending still manages to exceed your expectations. It's a quick and easy read, but still decent fun.
