    Robinson Crusoe is a great novel, but it is definitely a more challenging read that requires time and patience. Daniel DeFoe’s incessant use of commas, semicolons, and excessively long sentences can confuse readers. However, this is a great classic, published in 1719! It takes patience to read this novel; in fact, most people agree that it doesn’t truly get interesting until around Chapter 8-9. Robinson Crusoe discusses in length the cannibalism of some of the Caribbeans, and the shooting of several animals and people. But, it ultimately has a good message and a happy ending!

    Difficult to understand languge. Author drivels on and on about unnecessary and insignificant details.
  • A classic tale we all know - well worth a read

    Interesting to read this 300 years after it was written. The writing style and some terms took some getting used to but the story telling manner was appealing. It’s a well known classic that should be read.

    Not a very good book for class read aloud. Didn't even finish the book before the end of the year. Boring words. Good if you are in a highly advanced college but nothing else.

    Reading this was worse than subjecting myself to 17 hours of torture. So boring there was barely any character development. There was only 1 exciting event and I found that forcing me to watch idiotic musical.lys was more educational, has more health benefits, and didn't make me want to get on life support.

    This was overall a great and truly enjoyable book! It was quite an adventure and I definitely don't regret reading it. Keeps you guessing and on your toes, wondering what in the world is gonna happen next! Definitely would recommend reading it if you love travel and adventures and stories of the humans ability to survive and keep fighting and carrying on in spite of horrible circumstances and crushing adversity with the help of God, prayer and faith. Very encouraging! Also a great reminder that amazing blessings often come after hardships if you keep fighting and never give up. God always brings you out even better off then you were before if you are faithful and persevere!
  • Great classic

    If anyone says this is just a boring classic, they probably just don't understand what they are reading. If you can get past the old English it is a very enjoyable book and is worth the time.
  • ROBINSON CRUSOE NOT LIKE THE MOVIE VERSIONS

    By Hiakava
    I've seen several movie versions of the story of Robinson Crusoe, but the actual book contained many years and much drama in the first few chapters before he was actually cast away, plus the drama of his ultimate rescue wasn't the end of the book, but he lived many more years and another whole life after his rescue, including adventures in Europe. Also, Robinson Crusoe's story contained the understory of his conversion from a callow, sinful, immoral youth to a God-fearing, faithful Christian after his being castaway to the island. The movie versions all omit this very important part of the book because without that conversion, there is no logical explanation for much of Crusoe's behaviour.
