This probably isn't fair, but I thought the recent Masterpiece series was way better. Phileas Fogg in the book is disappointing and one-dimensional, the cast of characters is sterile, the adventure was not much of an adventure, the cultural and religious commentary was horribly inappropriate (there was actually a note at the end of the audio apologizing for that) and the token female was a mere token. If I hadn't recently watched the series, I don't know how I would have judged the book, but I can't separate the two now, so I'm biased, unfortunately.
The audio, however, is amazing. This is my first experience with Jim Dale (because I haven't yet been able to get free access to the Harry Potter audiobooks) and I know now why he is so admired as an audiobook narrator. He was absolutely brilliant.

Este libro me ha sorprendido para bien. Pensé que iba a ser más denso y lento de leer. Todo lo contrario, se lee muy fácil y tienes ganas de saber que va a pasar.
La ambientación de los sitios por los que pasan es increíble y parece que Julio Verne hizo esa vuelta al mundo.
Lo he leído en una edición de texto íntegro de Anaya que conseguí de segunda mano. Me ha encantado porque tiene las ilustraciones originales y algunos pies de página aclaratorios muy útiles.
He disfrutado de la lectura y eso que conocía el final.

Moreso vignettes of the people and places around the world. Fairly slow, more exposition than necessary in some parts, but some fun character moments.
My grandma recorded the mini series with Pierce Brosnan on VHS. I watched it so many times as a child. I happened to walk by a Little Free Library and saw this book and decided it was time to actually read it. 😂
