I assumed that I read the book as a child, but now I think I only saw it on television, because the book was so much better than I remembered. Much more analytical of the personality.

It's been a long time since I read it, but I remember liking it when I was in high school. There's a lot about it that doesn't hold up but it's still a classic.

I enjoyed this novel, it's story line was at places disjointed. But I felt a deep sense of excitement through-out. As time and time again we see Robinson Crusoe fall into the same bad habits, only to seek repentance.
