Review: Enjoyed It Way More Than I Thought I Would - I bought four other books the same time I bought this one, and I saved this one for last because I was the least excited about it. I thought it could potentially be similar to the book Treasure Island, which I found to be quite mediocre. But the price was right, so I figured I'd give it a shot. And I'd have to say it was definitely well worth reading. But I'm not sure why I liked it so much. Perhaps it was the matter-of-fact writing style, that just kind of tells things the way they are without trying to add any additional suspense buzz-words to events wild enough to stand on their own. That method gives the fictional story more authenticity I think. Great example of showing, not telling. Plus there's a lot of slow build up to certain major events that's enough to keep you interested but not too slow that you forget about what's coming, or you just get tired of waiting. And the author's inclusion of mistakes like the issue with the canoe give it more realism also. So I guess it was just the quality of the prose that drew me in. Great prose can make anything sound good. Even sitting on a deserted island for 20 plus years. And since a good chunk of this book happens in complete solitude, a book format is perfect because books tend to be better about showing what's going on in a character's mind than a movie would be.
Review: Rejuvented version of a classic that was showing it's age... - The DK Classics series is a great introduction to the a good range of classic books. Having been raised as a purist, I was a bit uncertain about giving abridged versions of the classics to our kids, but re-reading some of the originals reminded me why some of these classics are loosing their shine- becoming historical artifacts, rather than living, engaging stories. Robinson Crusoe is a prime example of this- although it is nearly an icon as a storyline, it was very much a product of it's time & place, and the world has definitely moved on! But with DK's always-excellent sidebars, giving historical perspective and making the text tangible, and a rather good abridgement, the story becomes possible even for youngish readers. Reviewers who have complained about it being long, slow, overly moralistic or religious should have a go at the unabridged version! The best thing about this Robinson Crusoe- as well as The Three Musketeers and The Odyssey from the same series- is that our kids really enjoyed them, and are building a good background in writings that have shaped so much of how we view the world. Perhaps they'll read the originals one day- almost certainly in a literature class- and if so they will start with a good understanding of the work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful Adventure Classic
*by A***A on March 19, 2015*

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe is a book I’d read excerpts from, even extensive ones, but I’d just never read the whole book before. To say the least, I was surprised! For one, I was surprised how easy it is to read. It would be great for young men, probably junior high age or high school. It has all the elements that would interest young people. The story begins with a rebellious boy who signs up against his parents’ wishes to sail the seas. He reaps the consequences of his sinfulness and becomes even more rebellious. As God would have it, He teaches Robinson a huge lesson about His grace by allowing him to be the sole survivor of a shipwreck. It’s told in first person and describes how Robinson not only survives, but thrives. He does ingenious things in order to shelter, clothe, and feed himself. He builds an amazing fortress that no one would ever guess was there—even while looking straight at it. And, he finds forgiveness and a very strong Christian faith with a dependence on and love for the Bible. After over twenty years alone on the island, Robinson discovers a single footprint. Later, he watches cannibals. He also ends up saving a man from being eaten. This man becomes his lifelong servant, Friday. Robinson leads him to Christ and he teaches him how to survive on the island. Robinson and Friday have some fights and adventures, eventually leaving the island and going back to England. This is an exciting book, well told. It is strong in its teaching about grace, mercy, and salvation. The elements you might want to discuss with your children are: the use of tobacco and liquors, cannibalism, Robinson's making Friday a servant by saving his life, and killing in self-defense. I believe these are all good discussions that will add to positive parenting. I personally loved Robinson Crusoe and would recommend it to boys especially, but also to many girls. It’s a great old classic and an amazingly forward-thinking book for having been written in 1719. No wonder it’s been translated into many languages and read the world over!
