Levi told me to read Robinson Crusoe for a more "tropical" book. The version we had on the book shelves was a Great Illustrated Classic. I thought there would only be a few pictures, but there was a picture every couple pages.
If I could describe this book in one word it would be "boring". I'm not sure if this book was a summary of the real story, or if this is how the real book is too. I just felt like it was a time line and didn't really give any details. Robinson landed on the island and learned to farm. He farmed 4 years, then he decided to make bread. 7 yrs later some cannibals came, they fought. 15 yrs later more people came. And so on and on and on. Nothing really descriptive about how he learned to do everything or anything about exploring the island.
I would say this is more of a survival story than an adventure story. The only things described in any details were the fight scenes.
Also, I don't like how he made Friday call him "Master".
Not my favorite book, but like I said, maybe this wasn't the real version.
Up Next: The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut for my satirical novel
