Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne

While I enjoyed the historical viewpoint that this journey gives in its worldview, and while I did in the end find myself getting a little caught up in whether or not they would make it, whether or not the love story would work out, etc; mostly I found the hero boring and inaccessible. A good man, but I like to dive into the characters of a story and I just wasn’t satisfied with this one. I much prefer 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
