neurorobin 's review for:
Around the World in 80 Days
by Jules Verne
I can’t believe I’ve never read this book before! What a wonderful adventure. I listened on audiobook narrated by Jim Dale (of the Harry Potter audiobooks) and it was integrated with music from the 1956 film. It lost one star for the casual racism and colonialism which, although common in 1872, is certainly not acceptable by today’s standards. Also, the cover suggested there would be a hot air balloon ride, but that was false advertising as there were no hot air balloons in this story.
