4.0

Decently strong and engaging storytelling, though some of the commentary around race and nationality and religion haven't aged well. Was also puzzled by Fogg's unquestioning acceptance that Fix was accompanying him everywhere - towards the end of the journey he didn't even bother checking with Fix before arranging for Fix's travels back to London
