gee damn if i thought round the world in 80 days was dragged out and uncomfortbaly collonialist then i was clearly not prepared for this shit show.
i could not tell you a single event that happened in this book bc i spent 80% of it spaced out while reading. they introduced the main characters and they were so indisitinguishable i immediately forgot which one was which, and only upon ffinishing the book and reading the lovely 'they lived happily ever after' epilogue can i now in full confidence tell you the fergusen was the Dr. , joe was the butler, and kennedy was the reluctant dragalong friend.
