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.

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

I can see why this book is a true classic - first published in 1726 and never been out of print. It's prose is straight forward without any archaic use of language, so it is easy to read and enjoy. Whilst you can tell that the book is of another time, it does not feel dated or any less relevant for it's age.
The author relates the politics, morality and class systems of the Europeans in a series of explanations to people or creatures with no experience of our culture, trying desperately to justify the lives of the rich, the cause of wars, or the country's legal system. It is through this device that we are led to see our own inequities, however, the style of writing is witty and humorous enough that we are allowed to take as much or little from the discussions as we like. The fantastical nature of the characters and their exploits turn a serious subject into something highly enjoyable.

Witty, funny and a searing indictment of humanity

Took me nearly to the end of the story to get ‘into it,’ but so glad I persevered. Thought provoking.

An interesting story

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.
