Highly entertaining, with one issue… I waited the whole book for a scene with a hot air balloon and it turns out that never happens!

Bon, vu quand c'était écrit c'est un petit roman d'aventure de bonne qualité à lire en vacances.
Vu aujourd'hui c'est une fiction de Gary Stu, sans aucune particularité - hormis d'être un génie ténébreux du commerce maritime quelque peu autiste et un capitaine hors pair - on sent tout de suite d'où vient l'inspiration pour le héros du "Cinquante Nuances de Gris/Fifty Shades Of Grey" - qui trouve une Marie Sue en détresse parfaite pendant son voyage et qui l'épouse à la fin.
Mais me diriez vous - "Enfin! C'est Jules Verne!"; en fait le vrai problème c'est que le héros principal et sa conquête amoureuse sont tellement plats qu'on a du mal à s'y attacher, je lisais le roman plutôt pour savoir ce qui arrivera à ce pauvre Passepartout "fidèle serviteur français et acrobate" (encore un Gary Stu, mais qui au moins est un peu plus vivant), que ces deux marionnettes en carton-pâte.

En gros - si vous avez vu la japanimation "Autour du monde en 80 jours" sur Club Dorothée vous ne ratez rien à ne pas lire ce livre.
