Karin | 9216 comments I enjoyed this just as much this time around as I did in 2017, but for some reason I didn't write a review back then. It reads as though Verne did a lot of research even though not all of his information appears to be accurate, and it has to be read remembering when it was written. The blurb tells you all you need to know before reading this; once again less is more. Apparently, when this book first appeared in installments in a periodical, people IRL were placing bets as to whether or not Phileas Fogg would win his fictional bet or not. Overall, this is quite delightful and enjoyable. Patrick Tull did a marvellous job of reading this book.
