Just started, a book group read. I'm listening on borrowbox, and had to select 1.5x speed as the narration is so leaden. SO far this quote sums it up for me:
"It is easy to understand why he [Phikeas Fog] lived alone and without any social relationships."
Is the reader is supposed to admire this fine upstanding punctulious yet unflappable 'gentleman'? Urgh.
I'll be interested to see if my first impressions hold true
