I give Jonathan Swift a lot of credit for writing this in the early 1700's. For me though Gulliver's Travels is better in memory that when actually listening to it (or reading it). Previously I had rated it 4 stars based on my recollection from long ago. This time, well, it's spotty. While it may be biting and witty at times, and it is most certainly imaginative, it is lacking in any element of suspense to grab me and wrap me up in the story.
This time it is only 3 stars for me.

What an odd little book. Definitely interesting! My only regret is choosing the Dover edition rather than an annotated one.
