Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
2.0
2.5 stars rounded
It is always hard to rate these old classics because I always end up reading them with modern eyes. Terms and phrases that would not be tolerated now, people tend to make allowances for. Overall, I found it...okay. The classist belief that someone is good or better at something because of where they were born or their status is abhorrent and is some self-important BS. The racism and white savior complex tend to ignite the rage in my brain. I had the same problems with Tarzan and clouds the experience.
