emmy9937's review against another edition

The survival part was kinda cool but I couldn’t get over the slavery aspect and how Robinson seemed to be able to justify it to himself even though he didn’t want to be a slave himself. I can appreciate the effect this book had on the English literature at the time but I don’t want to read it myself due to the slavery aspect. It’s just icky.
