Long story short: the man should’ve died at least 92 times but somehow, always managed to survived.

3,5 stars

Known as one of the first English novels, Robinson Crusoe contained one adventure after the other. Told as an autobiography, this book was riveting and had non-stop action. I loved the way the story progressed and the expeditions Crusoe went on during his 30+ years deserted on the island. It's incredible what one man can do with little resources and the wealth he can make for himself without any help!
I thought this was a masterpiece and can definitely understand why it's gotten so much rave. Daniel Defoe sure did start the English novel with a BANG! He set the standard high from the very beginning!

3.5 stars. This book does get more interesting every time I read it. It's no wonder Defoe was mostly a failed satirist -- it is so impossible to tell where he is being serious and where he's trying to be ironic. I can't say I love it, but I also couldn't say that I'd understand the history of the novel without it.

I was stranded at my grandmother house. She had to leave so I was alone. No Internet. No novels. Nothing. My little cousin (the only one with me) gave me his Oxford edition Robinson Crusoe book for 5th grade.
It was a story of stranded, hope, making something out of nothing and God (ok annoying). Adequate
