Gulliver's Travels

Another train journey, e-book venture. A childhood classic that I had yet to read. The story of Lemuel Gulliver and his two mis-adventures resulting from a shipwreck. Lemuel arrives in Lilliput, where the residents are tiny, making him a giant, and his later adventure on Brobdingnag where he kept as a curiosity by the giants of that land. A fun read, that was easy to pick up and put down. Not really that much to say about it - although I think that most children would struggle purely due to the old fashioned language. If I was concentrating on it more, I'm sure that there were some interesting philisophical points that I could have drawn out of it.
