It's an adventure story.
A hero named Guliver who travels as a ship doctor. He traveled many strange lands by accidentary.
Firstly, he arrived a land called Lilliput, then he met people who are 15cm!
Secondly, he reached a Brobdingnag land, then he met giants!
Thirdly, he found a flying island called Laputa, then he met people who always think about music and mathematics!
Forthly, he reached lands called Glubbdubdrid and Luggnagg. At Glubbdubdrud, people there are all good at magic and the president has ghost servants and he controls them by his magic!
Lastly, he found a country called Houybnbnms, then he talked with hourses for the first time in his life.
Through those travels, he saw many different cultures and customs and began to think why we lie, steal and fight.
I would recommend this book because the story is so interesting and it will be a good oppotunity to think what is the meaning of human being. I would like to read it more deeply in Japanese.

I would recommend this book, but I think the first half of this book is boring, and there are five different characters.
So, it was difficult for me to keep motivation to continue reading this book.
However the latter half is very interesting!!
So, you may enjoy reading this book.
And there is unexpected ending.

Level: 5
This book is a romance and a sad story
The main character of this story is Bathsheba, who is young, beautiful, and PROUD. Three guys around her tries to get married with her. Well, but they did "married" with Bathsheba. One is the shepherd and one is army, and last one is the riches who lives near her house.
First of all, Shepherd one asked her to get marry with him but she refused because she did not wated to lose her independance.
Then she met army one who already had wife. When his wife was dead, Bathsheba married with him, but he disappears. Then everyone thought the army one was dead.
Next, there were a rich near her house and she just sent the love letter to him for JOKE! However, he did not think that was a JOKE so he took it really seriously. Since the army one disappeard, she married with him, but at the night of wedding, the army one came back, and SHOTTED the rich one. Then the army one was took to the jail.
Then she became alone. She was visiting the rich one's grave yards and happened to meet Shepherd one which askeed her to marry at first. She couldn't keep remembering when he asked her to get marry with him. So she married with the shepherd one.
I would recommend this book beacuse I thought this book is really good book. I think this book can offer you an opportunity to create your imaginations by thinking how Bathsheba is feeling right now. I often try to be like main character's feeling so that i can undestand the book more cleary.
