Summary : Guliver was a doctor, and he had wife named Mary. He was not happy because he had to work instead of traveling. He really wanted to travel world. One day, he decided to work on ship to as doctor. He was really happy, but a big storm attacked his ship. Then he arrived at beach. Later he noticed that it was tiny people (about 15 centimeters high) country, Lilliput. He met many people and had dangerous experience. After escaped from Lilliput, he could be back home. But, he was not satisfied with trip, so he worked as ship doctor again. Then, similar to Lilliput's case, he had unfortune. He arrived at enormous people (more than 10 meters high) country, Brobding. What would happen him? He would travel many strange countries such as super intelligent country Laputa, magic country, Glubbdubdrib, country where wouldn't die persons Luggnagg, and horse country Houyhnhnms. These countries were really weird!!

Personal response : I've watched this book's movie once, but I don't remember anything about it. Indeed, it was really fun book. Anyways, what I thought about Guliver was that he was really smart. He could learn different language quickly, and soon be friend with many strange countries' people. I want his ability of learning!! I just want to use it for my learning language life... haha!

Rate : 4

Level for me : normal except countries' names
