Eighty Days: Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland's History-Making Race Around the World by Matthew Goodman
adventurous
informative
inspiring
slow-paced
2.5
Interesting source material, but the author focused too much on the minutiae and made the book longer than it needed to be. I also wanted to see more contextualization about the era of journalism in which this race took place, i.e. the penny press, yellow journalism, industrialization, etc.
