Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

4.75

---

Your mileage may vary, but I thought Defoe's writing and knack for descriptions were excellent, overshadowing whatever flaws Crusoe has as a protagonist. And no, I'm not shocked about an eighteenth-century novel not having the best representation of indigenous people, but even then the red flags this book draws seem a bit overwrought compared even to stuff you see on 20th century television.
