This book would be for someone who is in the mood for something boring ☺️
The main character ia the most arrogant person you'll encounter, somehow he's the servant of God but gets off from everyone bowing down to him and calling him Master.
I think that children could like this, as it is(or should be) at it's core an adventurous novel. I unfortunately didn't lik it, didn't get anything from it, disliked Crusoe almost passionately, this man is an idiot. I won't even start with the racism that is present pretty much constantly.

this man literally went off multiple times on the Spanish and how awful they were but he deadass got stranded on the island cause he wanted to go slave catching, I can't make this shit up

I don't think the book itself was poorly written, the character was awful
