3 point something, more than 3 less than 4.
Very easy to read, one of the easiest classics i ever read. Each chapter title is a resume of what is going to happen in the chapter. We follow Phileas Fogg a english gentlemen who makes a bet to travel the world in 80 days. He and his french servant Passepartout, met plenty of adventures in the way. The stakes are high, but not world ending high. It was a fun book.
Gonna read the others i have in my shelves.

Isn't it funny how people remember there being a hot air balloon in this book when in fact there is none? Anyway, I liked this novel very much as a teen, but as an adult the shortcomings are more apparent and annoying. However, still good, still enjoyable, still a classic.

This was one of the first books I had read years ago. Even as someone who found it hard to concentrate on reading, I remember loving and enjoying this book immensely. I still feel the same if not more. It is one of those books which I could read again and again and still enjoy it just as I did each time. All the characters are so lovable, and I loved re-reading it.
The dramatised narration only added to the already fantastic story, and I loved the voicing and the quality production of this audiobook.
I would recommend it to anyone who wants a short and enjoyable story to get lost in it. Jules Verne and his stories are always a win. I would also recommend this audible production of it because of it elevates and adds to the experience.
