Gulliver's Travels
by Jonathan Swift
3.5 Stars.
This novel has me into pieces. I couldn't understand 35% of the book and also the language is super difficult as it's a classic and was written in the 17th century. The book that I had had 4 parts in it. Let me dissect them and discuss them with you.
1. A Voyage To Lilliput:
I have read this story before and it is one of the most famous in the 4 stories. This book has tough language and many characters. The writing is tough to understand but yet really beautiful. When you read the book you can literally have the accent with you. The characters are clear and the story is beautifully described. The whole concept is really nice. This novel was very slow for me in reading as I got bored in it.
2. The Voyage to Brobdingnag:
This is my most favourite of the 4 stories in Gulliver's Travels. I loved the characters and the writing in this part of the novel us the easiest. It's like the author lightened up while writing this story. It's understandable and very well described. I love the concept and the ideology of Jonathan Swift. Best story of this classic. I read through this really fast as I loved it and it was very interesting.
3. A Voyage to Laputa:
This story was nice but not the best. The writing was easy but I just didn't connect to the story. The words were a little too hard for a 19-year-old me but I loved the concept and the characters. The plot and stories are perfect. I like how the summary is described at beginning of each chapter.
4. The Voyage to The Country Of The Houyhnhnms:
To be honest, at this point, I was tired of the hard words in the book and the writing language. I liked the story but somehow it was repetitive to this point. The same thing repeated...the author travels and goes to a new place, meet new people, describes the same old things and leaves. I was tired and happy that the book got over.
The story was nice and it was a somehow fun read. It deserves to be called a classic as it has so many unique elements. I liked the book but it's not a book that a teen with a weak literature knowledge should read.
P.S. these are my opinions, if you don't like them, please stop reading and leave. I like discussions, not hatred.
