Gulliver's Travels: Large Print

Gulliver's Travels: Large Print

By Jonathan Swift

Luke Cummins

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.

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat!

By Lucille Colandro

There was an author who didn’t even try… I have loved these books for a long time but this one left me sad and wondering if I should ever buy anymore. The typical riming of her books was abandoned by the end of the book the author literally put this book together by taking each piece and by the end she was putting the puzzle together with a hammer to make the pieces fit haphazardly together. Very disappointed and heartbroken by this review…

Stink and the Great Guinea Pig Express (Book #4)

By Megan McDonald

Stink, Webster, and Sophie are collecting cereal boxes to make the Great Wall of China. As they are making it they hear some weird noises inside the boxes. Stink opens one up and finds 3 guinea pigs jumping around. They go to the pet shop and bring the guinea pigs with them. The pet shop owner asks them to help him get all the runaway guinea pigs that are running around the store. The collect 101 guinea pigs! They go on a road trip across the country to sell the guinea pigs. Stink has to give up his favorite guinea pig to a kid. When they get back home, Stink finds that same guinea pig in his backpack. He thinks it snuck in they weren't looking. He gets to keep this one guinea pig as a pet! I think it would be cool to take a road trip all over the country, especially if I could sell guinea pigs and make money! I would take my friends Jacob and Cash with me to make it super awesome.
