Good adventure read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The book is an interesting adventure of going around the world without planes, modern communication tools and other conveniences we take for granted. My 7 year old son was very interested in the characters and their progress and motives during their trip. Having read the original version myself, I found this copy very well edited to keep a child engaged and keep the spirit of the story and author.
Fogg and Passpartoit's Excellent Adventure
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Fogg and Passpartout's Excellent Adventure Around the world in 80 Days by Jules Verne is an adventure book that starts out slowly, but the pace gets faster as you read on. The characters have to get past the bandits. The bandits are Indian people who are like a gang and who have the character, Aouda, in a hut. Fogg and Passpartout want to save the woman. They save Aouda while she is sleeping. When she wakes up she is on a train with Fogg. Fogg and Passpartout were not expecting her to come on the adventure. Now the three instead of two saw all kinds of things, in different parts of the world. They traveled on boats and trains. Their travels took them to India, China, and the United States. Fogg and Passpartout need to get to London in 80 days so Fogg can win a bet. If Fogg wins the bet he can keep his money and pride. He will also prove that he was not the robber and not have to go to jail. During the trip Passpartout went on errands for Fogg so they would have proof that they went on their trip around the world. Some one who likes to read adventure books would enjoy this book.
