A review by allaboutfrodo
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
3.0
The Movie of the Book Club I run at my library is going to see this New Year's Eve, so I reread it. I last read it when I was a serious English Literature undergrad. I expected to be bored to tears, but it wasn't too bad. I'm sure it was much funnier when it was first published. I doubt the movie will have much in common with it besides the main character's name and the image of him tied down by the Lilliputians.
One word of caution about Project Gutenberg! I had downloaded two versions and read one. When I finished, I was sure I remembered parts that weren't in there. I searched the other version and there they were. It ended up I had read a censored version for middle schoolers with all the (extremely mild) "naughty bits" removed (probably the passages that would interest a middle schooler most!). The only way I found this out was by reading the introduction, which I had skipped. So be careful when you are browsing Project Gutenberg!
