I was expecting more action, and although I like the classics, I didn't like this book too much. However, the characters were inusual and interesting.
I read this because I watched a couple of episodes of the BBC version of the book.
It didn't sound very Verne like. It is another case where they took the title and character names and threw out the rest of the original material. The book was tedious as Verne like to list the names of towns they pass through, weather conditions etc. But I enjoyed it overall and don't see that the BBC improved anything with its changes.
