This book is in four parts. The first part includes the tiny people of the Island of Lilliput. The second part is about the land of giant people. The third part features the floating island of Laputa, which is inhabited by a race of people devoted to the arts. Finally, the fourth part is about an island inhabited by civilized horses, which is the last island landed on by the unfortunate Ship Surgeon, Lemuel Gulliver.
This book is really four different stories about the same topic and the same character. The topic being stranded on unique islands and having to figure-out a way off. The character is Ship Surgeon/Captain Lemuel Gulliver. Every time Mr. Gulliver gets stranded on a island, it will glue you to the book and make you want to keep reading. Gulliver always finds a way to get out of a problem, like when he was almost executed or when he nearly drowned in a wooden box.
I really loved this book and would give it five golden stars. But I also have to say how much I loved the author, Jonathan Swift, because of how unique he was compared to other authors of his time. I would recommend this book to sixth graders and above because of some high level vocabulary. In conclusion, I really hope that you read this book and if you do...I hope you enjoy it!
RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
