this book was very exciting and i loved reading every page of it because it warped me to the adventurous and hectic world of this gentleman and his servant. i thought that i would be bored by the book seeing as the last few old classic books i’ve read has bored me to death. now i can tell why THIS book is a classic!

It was interesting reading this as I could only remember watching the childrens TV version/adaptation as shown on CBBC in the early 1990s when I was a child. I certainly didn't know about the more grisly aspects depicted in the novel - some details were a little shocking, with mentions of cannibal type activities going on apparently in parts of India and so on.
It got me thinking about how different it must have been in Victorian times, or even 100 years or so ago, in terms of travelling and communicating, given there was no internet, there were barely any flights and so on. I found it to be a quirky and enjoyable read, if a little pompous at times, a little slow and some passages were less interesting but overall it was interesting and thought provoking.

El final me ha encantado, un 10.Pero el resto del libro me ha parecido un poco tedioso en varias partes
