I did really like the part where they got over a broken bridge by just going really fuckin fast in a train and flying across it. Also Phileas Fogg is kinda a sick name.

I felt that this story had different goals: some parts seemed satirical, others were basically constituting a travel journal. The characters developed in various ways throughout the journey, but I could not avoid thinking that they were rather problematic and not totally likeable. Some comparisons and discussions about different cultures weren't great either.
All in all, I liked the plot twist, but the romantic side of the story did not make much sense to me. Some details related to the journey caught my attention, but the lengthy descriptions and the character behaviours didn't help me with getting immersed in the story.
