Summary: Right mix of travel and fun
Comment: One of the best travel books I've ever read. Former Python recreates Around the World in 80 Days, over a hundred years later, but without the help of air travel. It doesn't hurt that Palin seems quite the modest, charming traveler. Watching the trip from his eyes is truly a pleasant experience, highly recommended.

Summary: Great companion to the series
Comment: I found this a terrific companion to the series. It accounts for the journey day-by-day and fills in the gaps left from video editing and government restrictions (there were many areas the camera crew was either not allowed to film or weren't allowed to enter). It also gives a little of the behind-the-scenes to the series, which I always appreciate. Along with all this information, the journal is written much as you'd expect from Michael Palin and is, in itself, an enjoyable travel book.
Rating: 1
Summary: a merchandising add-on
Comment: Surprisingly disappointing.
Not so much a companion item, rather a merchandising add-on to cash in on the success of the television series.
The book adds nothing new to the tv series, and at times reads as an after thought than a diary of events.
