Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
3.5 stars yet highly recommended. This book is so much more than what I remember reading as a child.
I would still say children may enjoy Gulliver's adventures with Gulliver as a giant man among the tiny people of Lilliput. Children won't help but smile imaging Gulliver as a very tiny human stranded in a land full of giants and fighting off mice who might devour him. These vivid images have been the delight of children for at least a dozen decades.
Then again, Gulliver's Travels is very clearly a book for grown-ups. It probably should be mandatory reading before graduation of high school or college.
I've considered how I might best review this book. I believe the best would be to aim you at a great review with which I wholeheartedly agree. So in that line, here's a really great review by "Stephen" at Goodreads.
Secondly I thought I should review "by example or illustration". I selected Part 3, Chapter 6, [A further account of the academy. The author proposes some improvements, which are honourably received.]
