So, way back into May I signed up for two read-alongs at Allie's blog. This one is Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, and today I am posting my thoughts of Part I: A Voyage to Lilliput.The whole book is in Gulliver's point-of-view, and in this first part he is telling his adventures & disventures at the little country of Lilliput; the way he has to live in a country where everybody is way-too small for you (barely 6 inches, if I am not wrong).
One of my favorite parts is when the queen's rooms were in fire and Gulliver saves it in a very, errr... inapropiate way, but, well... he saved the palace!
I love the irony & satire that Swift manage at the whole part, is like if he was making fun of England's goverment! That's what I love the most of Literture: the way it reflects the society in its author's words.
So, that's all for this first part, I am looking forward the next!

I'm glad you enjoyed the first part! The second is one of my favorites, as it takes place in the land of giants!
@Allie
wow, awesome!
it's incredible... I never read the whole book as a child... I read lots of little stories about Lilliput... but that was all! An when I began reading this part I was amazed to discover it was not all about Lilliput but other places too!
I am loving Swift's writing!
