Around the World in 80 Days: Companion to the PBS Series by Michael Palin
4.0
I enjoyed this book quite a bit. Palin did a great job of contrasting travel now versus travel in Jules Verne's time (he races Verne's Phineas Fogg around the world).
It was also an interesting look at the world of 1988, the year Palin took the trip.
I enjoyed his commentary on the places he visited. He obviously doesn't get a lot of time in any one location but he does take in what he can when he can.
