Reviews

  • Classic as advertised

    It’s a great book that keeps the reader intrigued.
  • Challenging Read, Good Book

    By CruzFamAA
    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!
  • Boring

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

    By jbrwing
    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.
