A review by cggerwin
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

3.0

I understand that this book is a "classic" - a book of historical importance for the field of children's literature. For that reason, I am glad I read the book (while listening to the audio). The language and vocabulary are beautiful!!! But, the storyline is painful. Defoe tends to get hung up on details of little importance at the expense of moving the plot along. I appreciate its importance, and as I said I love the language and vocabulary, but not an enjoyable read for me.
