I read this with my boys because my oldest loved the abridged version. For a read aloud, I would stick with the abridged version. The story is interesting but the classic version is too verbose with many thoughts and details repeated over and over. We lost interest part way through, but I'm not a quitter, so we powered through it.
Although not my absolute favorite, you have to appreciate the genius of this book. It was really the first of it's kind, and it has inspired stories upon stories about shipwrecks and survival.
This book made me want to get shipwrecked on a deserted island and find a day of the week to wait on me. Wonderful story.
An epic adventure story, wrapped in an inspirational philosophical fable.
We are all alone; and alone, we can survive - but through society we can thrive.
Be aware, and thankful for what you have, not what you have not. Be aware of the world outside yourself. Be self-sufficient, but willing to share. Trust your instincts. Don't give up.

Is it sad that one of my favorite parts is the wolf chapter at the end of the book?
This is a phenomenal book. Although it was sometimes repetitive, I loved it. I love Robinson and just the feeling of being in his head while he endured decades alone on an island. I love the story even more when Friday came into the picture.
I will most definitely be looking into all of his other works!

Ahoy there, ahoy, we are castaways
We're stuck where we are with no house, no (ship)
Castaways, ahoy, we are castaways."

Not much of a review because it’s school book. I would not read this for fun.
