This was a very fun book to read. It is about a surgeon who becomes a traveler when his business fails. When he is in a shipwreck, he wakes up in a town called Lilliput, bound my many small threads belonging to the kingdom of little people. They are very kind and give him many things since he has become a hero. However, he puts out a fire in the royal palace with urine, which causes him to become convicted. He flees and returns to England. In his next voyage, he is captured by a family of giants. He is dropped into the sea when his cage is taken by an eagle. In the last voyage, he begins as captain. However, since there's a mutiny, he is thrown out into a land of the horses. He is treated nicely since he has learned the language, but is eventually banished since he resembles the enemies. The author did a great job at keeping the me engaged because he used simple diction. The text is controversial because it is a satire against England's society and culture.
