adventurous inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

This was so enjoyable and exciting! Surprisingly easy to enjoy. It was a bit light footed with the British empire in India, but, nonetheless it made for a great story and I suppose most readers can have their own critical eye on a generally charming adventure.

Why did Auoda end up with Fogg and not Passpartout?? Also, Fogg and Fix could've been great friends and even get a enemies to lovers arc if Fix wasn't so stupid

You can do absolutely anything you set your mind to!! - but only if you're a very rich British white man

What an adventure! I laughed more than I had originally expected. The juxtaposition of calm, unruffled Phileas Fogg and his much more excitable companions…the calm way the narrator mentions the breakneck speeds and crazy coincidences and ridiculous (but hilarious) situations they find themselves in…plus Jim Dale’s fabulous voice…it all comes together to make this such a fun story! I loved it.

What a fun and whimsical story. This quick paced adventure was a joy to listen to and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I highly recommend to anyone seeking out the classics on the lighter side.

Fine but not really all that interesting. Read as an audiobook and found I could tune it out for a few minutes and not really miss anything important. I wouldn’t take the time to listen to/read this again.
