I really enjoyed this audio book adaptation of Gulliver’s travels. It’s amazing how contemporary a book from 300 years ago sounds today. I loved the surprise cameo of my favourite Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) in part 3! I still think that I must read the original book in order to feel that I can truthfully claim to have read Gulliver’s travels because I think this version cuts a lot out. (All 362 pages crammed into under 3hrs - unlikely!) It was pretty funny too!
