Usborne Illustrated Around the World in Eighty Days Reviews

  I read this book to my son because we had time due to The Rona. It's such a weird book. Parts that are really quite good, coupled with parts filled with endless paragraphs of boring details. I ended up having to skip over large parts of it just to keep him interested sorta like in the book version of Princess Bride. 3 stars because it's a "classic" and I love Jules Verne, but almost gave it two. Maybe I will one day, I don't know.

  While Around the World in Eighty Days felt long at times (what classic novel doesn’t?), it was a fascinating story, of which I liked the end the most! This is a colorful edition, newly translated and unabridged. I would definitely recommend it!

  A wonderful adventure and celebration of science and technology. A bit dated here and there with its colonial worldview, but if you let that be without paying too much attention to it, this is a great inspiring story.

  Slow and steady but kids and I all enjoyed this read aloud!

  Read this as a kickoff to our world unit for home school. We really enjoyed the adventure. This book is beautiful but it is heavy. Tons of opportunities for geography and vocabulary with this book.

  Read this to the kids - they gave it 5 stars (they give every book we read to them 5 stars). It was enjoyable but more of a 3 star or even 3.5 star for me
