I love reading different books by the same author! Jules Verne was definitely a man of the world. In both books I have read of his this year, his knowledge of world geography was astonishing! In this book Fogg travels through California and I was able to understand the exact locations he went by. To a common reader today we could simply turn to a map or look it up on our phone, yet he was able to explain the places over 100 years ago! This is amazing to me and shows just how much study he put into the books he wrote.
Around the World in 80 Days has always been a book I was interested in yet when I picked it up on a cruise 10 years ago it didn't hold my attention. I decided to try it again, because I thought that I should attempt to read it again! This time I finished it and enjoyed it! It has a fun little plot, and Jules Vernes takes the reader all around the world with this adventurous book!
