How did I miss this in life?

I must confess to having read an abridged, children’s version of Gulliver’s Travels as a child—mostly centered on his account of the Lilliputians.

As an adult, it is so much more! The satire and social commentary is pertinent yet today, while the dry humor rivals that of contemporary writers.

If the older English throws you, I highly suggest you lays hands upon the audiobook version narrated by David Hyde Pierce! He brings it to life so that you can forget you’re reading a 300-year old work!

I am fond of George Eliot’s writing. The Mill on the Floss is classified now as “historical fiction”, but at the time of writing was more contemporary and thus gives us some insight into the constraints and challenges of Victorian England, reflecting not only the prejudices of the era, but foreshadowing of the changes to come.

I love short stories, and this one did not disappoint. It is well worth the time, only be certain to wait until you won’t be interrupted.

Of course, as a fan, I had to listen. It's not great, but I have read a lot worse. It's a fun diversion that leaves you wondering how much about it was true.

The premise is good, but the execution leaves a bit to be desired, as it is far too easy to rightly assume the endings. I'm glad it was included in my subscription. Otherwise, I am a fan of Weir, this simply doesn't seem to be his best work.

Painful narration of a worthwhile book. Only buying Kilmeade in hardcopy in the future... have another on order at present.

That being said, if you don't mind hearing an amateurish narration, it is worth the time. A clear presentation of the facts and an appreciation of the participants as they stood within it. No glorification, no judgement... the way I like my history presented.

While you might be tempted to skip the nerdy bits, but they're an integral part of this great story, perfectly narrated by Wil Wheaton. It's delightfully funny and will make you believe there's really a side to humanity that's worth saving.
