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.

That moment when even your pets are roasting you because you are an eight year old trying to be a survivalist like Robinson Crusoe.
