Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe is a novel about the adventures of a sailor that spent much of his time marooned on a deserted island.
Random comments:
* It is VERY detailed. Almost everything is fully described and then reflected upon.
* Action is foreshadowed and developed slowly.
* What I didn't realize that so much (or any!) of the story had to do with Crusoe's conversion to Christ.
* The reader had a slightly off beat cadence. You get used to it.
* This is the sort of book that makes a great audio book. Librivox rocks!
* After 13+ hrs of audio, I learned that there is a part two. I didn't feel angry or betrayed, but I certainly didn't feel happy. It was a bit surreal.
