Don't misunderstand, the book is great, so was the last book with the same title "Gullivers Travels. However both are what is called "Case books", or a critique of the work, or a landmark of the work describing a number of critics evaluating the work.What I wanted was THE BOOK "Gullivers Travels". Hopefully, when I reorder, I will finally get THE book.I'm learning.

Jonathan Swift is hillarious!! He is true to his words and expresses his beliefs about politics through gulliver. i thought the book was very good but kind of hard to follow at times. i liked the way swift tied in all of gulliver's travels, and also how swift managed to satire politics and religion and many other things of humanity. he is true to his words and i agree with many of the things that swift said in his book. for example when the Lilliputians are fighting because of which side of the egg to break off, i saw the relation to government and real wars right away. i would reccommend this book to anyone who has not read it. it is a very good look at society and governments.
