Awful. Maybe the worst novel I have ever had to read. Crusoe is an arrogant, racist, poor excuse of a 'protagonist', and I do not see where the hype is for this book. He is not a hero, he is an exploiter, who endorses slavery and has an insufferable God complex. The worst the colonialism genre has to offer.
