Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift

2.0

---

The saddest part about me giving this book only 2 stars, is that I think it could have been soooo much more. I do understand that it is a satire written about the times in which Swift lived, and I also recognise that he wanted it to be satirical. However, and I don't presume to judge, I am just saying, if he stuck more to telling a story, and eased up on his satirical ranting, I think this book could have been FANTASTIC. There is so much potential there for some really good story telling. But in the end Swift decided to make it a rant about the times He lived in. It is a bit frustrating when you see what something could have been, but have to deal with what it became.
