Swift is awesome. This book is too long for what it is. I found his first and last adventures to be the most engaging and, not coincidentally, that is where his satire most often hit the mark.

Gulliver's Travels is often boring, but sometimes interesting. It's almost always at least tolerable. I read Isaac Asimov's annotated version, and the annotations added a little to the entertainment value, but it's kind of weird reading some of the annotations that are basically a review of that section of the book while reading the book for the first time. I would not recommend first-time readers read this version
