This is a wonderful cat and mouse adventure, and at first I thought it funny that the police think Fogg has left on his trip because they suspect him of a recent bank robbery. But then, I had to wonder...why was Fogg ready to go on such short notice? Why is he so willing to spend so much money? Could he really be the bank robber? Of course, the main question is, Will they make in 80 days? And at times it seems they will, but there's always another hitch in the plans.Similar to The Journey to the Centre of the Earth which I read yesterday - Verne creates amazingly awesome and complex characters. The main protagonist Mr. Fogg is an obsessive-compulsive routine loving timekeeper who bets his chums at the club that he can travel around the world in 80 days, which a newspaper said was possible - if no delays were incurred. He is so deep, that so much is beneath the surface of this quiet, content gentleman. Never fearing or worrying whatever dilemmas are thrown in his path and always willing to fail the mission to help his friends. He is also very good at handling a boat. I have to ask - does anyone know if he has been in any of Verne's previous stories as it seems like he has an amazing past. If he hasn't been present and that is just what is built up by the writing in this book I am speechless. Around the World in Eighty Days was first published by Jules Verne in 1873, and was introduced to an adoring public as monthly installments.
