Have you sailed around the world? How about stepped somewhere no one else has. Ok, you've most likely touched a place no one else has, just by walking in the woods. But have you experienced being among strange animals and people not known to our existence? Probably not, unless you've seen aliens on Mars. The book “Gulliver's Travels” by an Englishman of the name Jonathan Swift was first published in 1726. Swift died in 1745, never realizing his work would be so influential and widely spread throughout the world. Overall I thought this was an amazing and fascinating tale. I would rate this book a four out of five stars. The only reason it is not five out of five stars is because the wording is at times confusing. The genre of these fascinating tales are fantasy. In my summary you won't have to worry about me giving away the ending as there is no actual ending but a series of four travels. The first account occurs when Gulliver gets shipwrecked alone and washes upon the shores of Lilliput. An army of Lilliputans who are around six inches tall, quickly tie him to the ground. I would keep explaining the hostilities thrown upon Gulliver's but I don't want to overwhelm the reader with details. Gulliver's gets taken to the emperor who quickly bonds with Gulliver. The name of the emperor is unknown. Gulliver spends almost a year on Liliput and he has many friends but he has also made serious enemies. After the rumor of blinding Gulliver and starving him was passed on to the Emperor, he almost immediately told Gulliver. Gulliver made a ship and sailed away. Gulliver's second adventure brings him to a land ruled by giants. Gulliver is initially found by farmers but later sold to the king. Gulliver is in danger almost everywhere he goes. One day while in his box an eagle picks Gulliver's box up and drops it with him in it into the ocean while being attacked by other Eagles. He is later found by a normal sized ship. The captain takes care of him but thinks Gulliver is crooked because some princes put men in a home in the water that slowly sinks. Gulliver's third travel takes place on a flying island with the most peculiar of people, who are so busy thinking they have servants who touch their mouths, eyes, and nose so they listen when spoken to, talk, and look where they're going. Because of this, Gulliver soon leaves the island and is brought upon a professor who talks about what government is like on their country. The fourth journey is a surprise that you'll only know if you read the book. This book also has a movie for those of you who are too lazy to read this book. I would suggest this book to boys and girls in seventh grade and up, no one lower unless this is explained to you and you understand what's happening. I also suggest this book to people who like government, or stories set in the past, also if you like to read about travelers. Again I rate this book a four out of five stars because of the fascinating tales told. I only took of a star because the wording can be confusing.
