The rich and phlegmatic Kin-Fo loses his fortune and decides to die, but not before experiencing some strong emotions. He asks his friend Wang to kill him before a given date. Everything changes when Kin-Fo discovers he is not poor after all and he sets on a journey around China, trying to find his friend to cancel their deal. (Summary by Nadine)

I found the story hard to follow in part because I use audio books to get to sleep (so miss bits), in part because of the changing narrators and in part because of the plot. It made a bit more sense when I came back and read the description again!
alot of fun

I have been going through Jules Verne stories and I have to say this is my favorite so far. I laughed at the situations and the humour Verne uses to tell this unique story.
an interesting twist from this author.

The story was overall pretty good, the readers could be understood. Was a little boring in descriptions at times.

A great story by Jules Verne!! Several of the readers did have a hard time reading, or read to slowly.
