It’s a first person narrative that runs to almost 300 pages without division into chapters – I guess chapters were invented later. Defoe probably found inspiration for his tale in the real life ordeal of Alexander Selkirk, a Scot who spent 4 years as a castaway on a South Pacific island.

Though sometimes a slow read it is still captivating. Don't go by the movies to tell the true story.

Was a little bit boring at the beginning. But after - you can't stop reading it. Adventures. Admires how man can stay alive alone for so many years!

Robinson Crusoe is one of my all-time favorite books. I've probably read it at least 8 times over the years. If you love adventure stories about people who have to survive on almost nothing, carving out a life where none has existed before, you'll really love this classic story.
