4.0

A really fun book, and especially the way the plot twists and turns. Despite some obvious orientalism and generalizations, a lot of Verne's misconceptions are harmless and can help to paint a picture of the Western idea of these places. That said, it makes you question more than once if he knew enough about the world to write some of this book. But that didn't stop him!
