I’m not one for fantasy, so I found myself not super entertained with the content of the story. However, my writer’s brain can appreciate Swift’s creativity and satirical application. Overall, not my favorite, but I can hold a respect for the author and his creativity.

 Yo sé que el libro es una sátira y crítica sobre la política, sociedad, la justicia, el poder, la razón humana y hasta los roles de género, pero solo podía pensar en la pobre esposa de Gulliver y sus desafortunados hijos.
