Summary

Lemuel Gulliver, a slightly staid ship’s doctor, relates the tales of his astonishing travels. He encounters the tiny, warring Lilliputians; the giant, sceptical Brobdingnagians; the ludicrously intellectual Laputans; and the idealistic - if rather stolid - Houyhnhnms and their bestial servants, the Yahoos. An immediate best seller when it was first published in 1726, Gulliver’s Travels has remained a favourite ever since. It was an attack on the politics and society of Swift’s day, but it is also a polemical, inventive, surreal, vitriolic, and wonderfully imaginative masterpiece, whose powerful satire continues to strike home.

I really enjoyed this book. The narration is very good especially the last section regarding Houyhnhnms. It’s hilarious!

Excellent narration

This was a fantastically narrated story of a book about a misanthropic traveller who uses his new found civilizations as metaphors for the court, animal welfare and the environment.

Totally gripped by the story and the narration.

I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to begin reading restoration texts…it is easy to follow but a bit dense in some areas.
Overall, however, it is an engaging adventure story which I enjoyed for the most part…and the performance was pretty good

Readable classic!

Where does Gulliver's Travels rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

For many years I have always wanted to read this book. However having now listened to it I can say I found it actually rather boring in a lot of places and found myself not really listening to it all. Well performed but the story was just not engaging.

Would you recommend Gulliver's Travels to your friends? Why or why not?

No
It was a rather tedious book

Not as good as I thought it would be
