Around the World in Eighty Days & Five Weeks in a Balloon, by Jules Verne
4.0
Kind of hard to give this a rating. The first half is Around the world, second half is Five Weeks.
I loved around the world, it was interesting and fun.
Of course Jules Verne was from a different time, and you really feel that at times.
...Especieally in Five weeks, were words like "nigger" and "negro" often makes an appearance. And just because of that I had a hard time to truly enjoy Five Weeks.
Around the world I would probably rate 5 stars, and Five weeks only 3.
The political issues aside, Jules Verne's imagination is unbelieveable. Great read.
