My name is Steven Carroll. Around the world in
eighty days is my favorite book. It is about a man called Phileas Fogg. He was a rich man
but he only had one servant. After a while he changed his servant.
He had tea at exactly 8.23a.m. each morning. At 9.37a.m his servant took him his
shaving water heated to exactly 86° F. One day while playing
cards with his friends, he heard that the Bank of England of £55,000 thousand pounds had
been robbed. Phileas Fogg decided to bet £20,000 and that he could travel the world in 80
days.
He left England with Passepartout, his servant. They travelled through a Europe, Asia
and America. They travelled by ship and train mostly. During the journey a detective
called Fix thought that Phileas Fogg was the bank robber so he followed him for the rest
of the journey and caught him and put him in jail. Then they found out that the real bank
robber was caught so Phileas Fogg got let out of jail. Soon after they arrived home he
thought he lost his bet but he didnt because he had forgotten to adjust his watch.
It was a brilliant book I would give it nine out of ten.
