Okay, I'm rating this 3/5 specifically because it's so old and outdated and the language is rough. HOWEVER, the satire on this book is incredibly hilarious and also appalling sometimes. Makes you question politics, human nature, and just societal practices in general. Swift was pretty badass in writing this novel. A must-read for those who enjoy humor within the nuances of the English language.

I have had to read this book for class multiple times and while it is not one of my favorites, Shelley illustrates characteristics that make us question who is really the monster. Her craft is unparalleled.
