This book was good,
By A Customer
This review is from: Robinson Crusoe (Library Binding)
I saw it in my teachers shelf. I looked at the cover and it looked interesting to me. I read it in the beginning of the year 2003. Robinson Crusoe was sailing in a violent storm and it destroyed the ship. Next day he built a fort to protect himself from wild animals. In the beginning of the story he is on a island alone. But at the end he meets some indians.

Man can live without modern conviences,
By StanMan (Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robinson Crusoe (Library Binding)
I like this book because Daniel Defoe can grasp your attention within the first two chapters. He had caught mine with Robinson Cruesoe's ways.Defoe makes his character stand out, and lets you see the relationships in which Cruesoe makes. You feel like you know what Cruesoe is like, after only a few chapters. The development of this book, and its characters is extraordinary. With Cruesoe, throughout the book, you see his tenacity, and how he just won't quit, he won't let go of survival. You also see how Cruesoe's friend can learn English, and understands so he can communicate. The action in which Robinson goes through is incredible. He battles storms, and gets in fights with cannibal hunters, and fights with survival. With Cruesoe, you wonder how one man does it. The plot, having action packed pages, out standing vocabulary, excellent development, and interesting twists, makes you sit at the edge of your seat, and want to read faster. Though the book is fiction, it still has a moral. The moral that I think is having a lot to do with colonial times. Having no refrigerators, no computers, no television, and no microwave dinners. This book shows that man can live without modern conveniences. He doesn't need any of the fancy electronics we have made to be content.

Great Illustrated Classics version is perfect for young ones,
By Bill Herring, LCSW - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (Hardcover)
"Great Illustrated Classics" takes Defoe's classic work and brings it down to the level a small child can understand. All of the plot developments remain, while the language is made very simple and readable. I had a delightful time reading the story aloud to my kindergarten-age son, and he enjoyed the pictures on every page. This is an excellent way to introduce a classic book to a small child. Unfortunately not all Great Illustrated Classics versions hold up this well -- the Robin Hood version was a great disappointment.

The perfect classic for early readers,
By Henry Ehrman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (Hardcover)
Wow. I haven't thought about this book in years, and I just stumbled upon it somehow through Amazon's recommendations. This illustrated edition was the first "real" book I can remember reading -- I must have been 8 or 9 -- and what a book it was. A great adventure story, gripping illustrations: the perfect tale to draw in an elementary-school kid who loves to read. I'd write more but I have to go dig out my copy!

The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe,
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (Hardcover)
The Adventures of Robinson CrusoeThis book was outstanding!!!. Daniel Defoe writes another amazing adventure of Robinson Crusoe. This book is about an adventurer who get's stranded on an island. His name is Robinson Crusoe, and he was born in England. One day when Robinson and his crew were on a boat there was a bad storm and they had to jump off the boat. They swim for shore and make camp.This story takes place on an island. The main characters are Robinson the adventurer,Friday - the slave, and Friday's father. These characters learn how to be friends and fight and work to get off this island. I recommend this book for anyone who likes action and adventure. |
