Gripping story of a man marooned on an island in the Caribbean. Makes a life for himself, encounters natives, and devises a way off the island after a lengthy stay. One of my favorites, heavy themes of regret, thankfulness, and resourcefulness. I particularly liked the prose in this book, it felt easy to read and I never got bored with the storyline. Unsurprisingly an enduring tale, would read again, maybe next time I'm on a beach.
I found the events of the book boring, and I couldn't bring myself to care about the main character.

Novels like this are the main reason why we hate typical white Englishmen of that time! I wish I could strip it from that single star but unfortunately, I can't...
