I must say that a rather enjoyed this. The book is a true classic and although it comes over as a bit of a travelogue in places it is easy to read, entertaining, and even educational. There is plenty of fun poked at national stereotypes, particularly the stiff upper lipped and laconic Englishman Fogg and this excitable French servant Passepartout, who actually has most of the adventures. All in all, a fun book.
