The book is great. I had a pleasure reading it even though in i'm in college now. Jules Verne is great as always and the story is very fascinating.

The characters in the story were introduced very well, especially Phileas Fogg. A remarkable thing about Fogg is that his life is centered around the clock. He is very precise and always on time. Every day he follows the exact same schedule. Phileas Fogg does not have a wife or any kids.

The setting of the book was very jumpy. Since Fogg travels through many continents and countries the setting changes all the time. You still feel you know a little bit about every place that he comes to, even if he only stays there for a couple of hours.

Just read it, you will enjoy it.
