I read this book about 55 years back when I was in my high school. But the story is as fresh in my mind as if I read it yesterday only. A great work of fantasy and imagination.

I read it when I was a child and found it incredibly boring but reading these comments, I cannot wait to reread it.

This is a really lovely book. I read the kid's version when I was much younger, I also watched the animated version as well.

I enjoyed reading Gulliver's Travels when I first read it as a teenager. I found the story fascinating and unreal. I think Swift's book made me think of reading books written in the style.

I also read the book back in school, but I need to give it another read. I had only read the first part with the Lilliputians and started the second part with the giants, but I never went further.

My mommy read it for me when I was little, I absolutely loved this book and thought about it as a fairytale. I'm definitely reading it to mg children in future as well.

I think it's a good book. I do not recommend it for very young children, but if someone is already used to reading, this book will seem very entertaining. I think it's the kind of stories that should be recommended, funny, classic and timeless.

I read this book as an adult because of procrastination. I did enjoy it to the last page.

Latest Review: The Magician's Secret by Charles Townsend

The book will definitely remain one of the greatest satirical novels of all time. But one may at first find it difficult to make sense out of the adventures. And then, I must comment the old English writers for their diction. It makes the whole thing boring at times.
