The adventures of Gulliver on his voyages to Lilliput, Brobdingnag, etc.

Hey, man! It's Gulliver's Travels! How bad could it be? ( )

For something written in 1735, the humor is surprisingly applicable to today's audience. It is the tale of Lemuel Gulliver's journeys to several distant lands and is rife with hilarious satire and biting wit. I particularly enjoyed his descriptions of English government. I was also amazed at how much influence on modern language it's had, from lilliputian to big-endian. There are so-called classics of which I don't understand the attribution, but this is one comedy that is sure to be timeless as long as there are human societies. ( )

This book is about travels of Gulliver, the main character of this book. Gulliver traveled two strange place. One is the country where very small people live and the other is the country where very big people live. It is written that how Gulliver spend in each country meeting his match.
This story is a rhal Gulliver's travels. The story that I have even heard was obviously nothing like this story. I think this is very interesting. The storyline is creative. When I read this book, I feel like being in this book and watch at Gulliver nearby! ( )

I did enjoy the book, though it took a while to get going. I think the biggest issue for me was my lack of background knowledge of that era, even with the endnotes, some references were lost on me. Reading it as a look at different types of society though did interest me. ( )
