I love this book. I would sit around and munch on my wood and read and read. I will shove a stick in my toe. Who the heck is Garfield trying to fool with his orange fur and black stripes? everyone knows he is a tabby. My best friend is a cactus. I think I know everything about tactical numbers and emoticons, but who’s to say that the Titanic was the biggest? How many more hormon-pumped teens must be shot in the aorta before ol’ bush decides to bring guns back into the schools. I like to eat broadswords.
Let’s hear it for Robinson Cruesoe!…

This book is plainly boring in every way. The plot should be replaced and the character was completely and utterly uninteresting. The first half of the story deserved a whopping rating of negative 2 stars, and the second half deserved roughly one star. If you have any intention of reading a book that you will cherish in your heart, then I suggest that you would please disregard this novel and find one that is more interesting, like “Barney Goes to the Zoo”. Do not, and I repeat: DO NOT read this book. If you would like to take interest in this novel, save your money and check it out of the library or borrow it from a friend. You WILL be disappointed.

Probably the finest critique of Defoe’s landmark novel is the one appearing in a 1950’s issue of MAD magazine.
Defoe inadvertantly portrays all that is immoral and hypocritical in the western man’s approach to nature and the environment. Crusoe is cruel to animals (on pikes, he impales the bodies of little birds with the intention of frightening others from his crops). He is wasteful of natural resources (whittles down one large tree to make a shelf). He is an outright coward (he is terribly afraid of a goat).
This rather rambling, disorganized book is nonetheless a sharp indictment of man’s supposed superiority over nature. Fascinating fodder for the student of ecological literary criticism.

This book is a disgrace to the lable “classic.” It repeats too much stuff again and again and begins to bore you out of your wits, so much that I’d like to burn my copy of the book in the fire, but its the library’s. Although it did have some good points, I’d rather be stuck on his Island than read this book again. Thankyou, and Goodnight.
