Summary: One of the Greatest Works of All Time
Comment: With Robinson Crusoe, Daniel DeFoe transformed liturature forever. In his time, the novel did not exist as we know it today. Through Robinson Crusoe, DeFoe helped created this genre that we love today. Many people judge this book by today's standards; however, DeFoe wrote this book long before today's novel completely developed. This book is not only great for its creativity as a new genre, but also is wonderful for its adventurous plot. If you've ever seen Gilligan's Island, read Jules Verne's Mysterious Island, or heard any stories about someone stranded on a desert island, you are just hearing another rehashed version of DeFoe's story.

Summary: Not As Good As Other Classics But Still Worth One Read
Comment: Robinson Crusoe lives an unsettled life, until Fate settles it for him by leaving him shipwrecked on a tropical island. The island has an abundance of resources, and Crusoe is a resourceful survivor-type, so survival is never really an issue. Sanity is more an issue, although Dafoe writes Crusoe as a bit too adaptable to be credible. The beginning of the book, and the very end, are well-paced and well-written, but the large middle is slow and overly detailed. An undercooked loaf of bread might be good around the edges, but disappointingly doughy inside; this description fits this book as well. Nonetheless, it is a classic, and one of the earliest adventures written. There are many issues in the book that now seem archaic, but they did fit their historical time-period.
Rating: 5
Summary: what a great book!
Comment: This is very interesting. Robinson Crusoe lives with his family and wants to be a sailor. But his dad says it's not right. At age 18 he runs away, and sails, then becomes a slave, until finally gets trapped in an island without any people. He meets friday, and a lot of stuff happens. In the end he gets rescued.
There's a lot of things to be told, which I won't do. I think you should read this book if you like adventure and stuff like that. Highly recommended.
