Sounds like a robot is reading it

Not much to say about the book. It is considered one of the best works of Vernes. My problem is with the narration. It does not sound like a human at all. I can only describe it like the voice from very old documentaries (early '80s). It is boring, monotonous and tiring to the ears.

Great story but annoying narrator

Normally I enjoy narrators who change their voices for different characters but this one is sadly just plain annoying. Most character voices are falsetto-ish for some obscure reason and I have no idea what the accents are supposed to be.
The story itself is enjoyable though, if occasionally a bit too heavy on geographical details.
