it is a fine book about a man named phileas fogg and his servant passepartout make a bet whith mr. fogg's reform club to go around the world in 80 days ( )

This is the first time I've read this book and I enjoyed it very much. The end was a little cheesy and I early on figured out the catch to the end of the story, but I still like it a lot.

My whole life I have immediately gotten the image of a balloon flight in my head at the mention of this story, but Phileas Fogg never uses a balloon. The idea is briefly mentioned when he's figuring how to get to London from New York, but he never actually does it. ( )
