Around the World in 80 days

Just finished reading this book after so many years being abandoned in the shelf! 

I personally found this book is very well written and great imagination of Jules Verne has made me feel that I was also there when Passepartout and his master bravely saved the beautiful lady in India, when they were chased by Inspector Fix from one country to another, and during the critical period when Phileas Fogg was put in jail, few hours before he was due to be in the Reform Club to win his bet. 

With a happy ending that Phileas Fogg found his destiny, that is Mrs. Aouda, after such a long voyage to be the happiest man, this book reminded me that, often, to find your love, you just need to go through various obstacles and challenges before you find the right one, and at the end, it is all worth it!
