THERE. IS. SO. MUCH. RAPE.
YOU CAN WRITE A GOOD STORY WITHOUT THAT MUCH RAPE.

there's a lot of Christian supremacy in this novel for no reason at all , the fact that the main character was feeling relieved to be in Christian lands too, I was like "excuse me?".
I do like the adventures tht were detailed and it's interesting to look at the world in 1700s in this book so I do give the writer credit for that though.

10 años más de Crusoe, la verdad que no es tan interesante como la primera aventura pero está muy bien representado el papel de viejo choto de 60 hinchapelotas y convertido a la religión cristiana, no lo recomiendo a menos que quieras recordar a tu abuelo facho

The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe
Liked reading this book as we have often watched TV series about the escapades of this man and his servant Friday.
So adventurous and fascinates me as to how he can survive and keep protected with no weapons to speak of. Loved the journey this book took me on.
All corners of the world and how they were able to live in the areas by bartering and how they protected themselves with the knowledge they gained from others.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

This was actually part of my very old copy of Robinson Crusoe, which meant that the book seemed way longer than anticipated. The first half was much more interesting than the second, in my opinion. The interaction between Robinson Crusoe and Friday was one of the most fascinating parts for me.

Compared to the first volume, a little less on practicalities and more on civilising the savage to Christianity, which was a bit of a bore, but still very interesting and indicative of the times.
On the quality of this edition though, absolute rubbish, and I nearly went blind reading its tiny font. A decent edition of this book should be about three hundred pages and this was crammed into 158. Sadly these print on demand copies of work free of copyright don't get a lot of editing for quality, I don't think.

Obviously suffering from sequelitis (the sequel being way poorer compared to the original), but points added for providing an insight into the Western view of the world in the 17th century.

The mad colonizer's adventures continue. This time he puts on a merchant's hat and heads to the East. On his way to the glory,
- he participates in tit-for-tat fighting and a resulting massacre of the Malagasy
- then instigates a pagan revolt in the Russian hinterland by desecrating a local idol
- and consequently hides from the ensuing retaliation while threatening his fellow travelers at the hands of the angered heathen army.

This felt like a huge waste of time!
I enjoyed the first Robinson Crusoe novel but this was literally just him talking about how he hates everyone who isn't a white Christian for the whole novel. Don't recommend.
