Summary: Still a bit confused
Comment: The Swiss Family Robinson is a short read, with a moral, and a story simple enough to appeal to children. I am still confused, however, whether this novel is really intended for children or not. The language is not what I would call easy - there are too many words that require the knowledge of vocabulary that is above the level of children who would probably best enjoy the novel. This creates a dilemma: an adult (or a teenager) would most likely find this story too unrealistic and would be skeptical of the events, while a child is likely to be confounded by the vocabulary. The novel itself seems to be aimed at educating the public - there are many plants and animals that are described at length, most of which the average person has never heard of, and is unlikely to hear of again. One could view this in a very positive manner - it is a learning process through a novel that is, at least, engaging. I, however, found this to be rather tedious - it felt too much like I was expected to remember all of the various things, which detracted from my enjoyment of the novel as a whole.
