#Around the world in 80 days reviews movie

London, China, India, Japan, HK, America, Liverpool amongst others. I don't want to say too much of the story but it takes places all over the world. Other characters Fix (a stalking policeman) and Aouda (a rescued Indian damsel) are amazingly created colourful characters too. This dude is clever, he worries like he is always ruining the plan but he is very loyal, apt gymnast and sometimes a lifesaver. His trusty French manservant is amazing too - Not for a long time have two characters been so three dimensional and have I truly cared about them so much in 200 or so pages. If he hasn't been present and that is just what is built up by the writing in this book I am speechless.

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. Never fearing or worrying whatever dilemmas are thrown in his path and always willing to fail the mission to help his friends. He is so deep, that so much is beneath the surface of this quiet, content gentleman. 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. Similar to The Journey to the Centre of the Earth which I read yesterday - Verne creates amazingly awesome and complex characters. I could end the review at that and I would be content! This is the second Verne book I have devoured in two days which have both been accredited four-five stars. 'Truly, would you not for less than that make a tour around the world?'
