Book description
Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters - with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoos - give Gulliver new, bitter insights into human behaviour. Swift's savage satire views mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified and finally bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves.

The diverse range of narrators adds a new layer of depth to each story. Thanks to ListenBook's automatic extraction of artwork and metadata, my library looks organized and appealing. This app is a lifesaver! I can now enjoy my favorite books on the go. A reasonable choice for casual listening. The audiobook was well-produced, but the pacing felt uneven in places.

Tough Nut
ListenBook has transformed my listening habits, making them more engaging and enjoyable. The app supports background playback, which is a must for me. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldnβt call it unforgettable.
