Review of 'Robinson Crusoe' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I mostly enjoyed the book. The characters are well-drawn, if sometimes a little too sketchy. But what really distracted from my reading pleasure is the very conventional gender roles that permeate all relationships. In contrast to the rather radical, edgy stuff he describes, this is really ... strangely distracting.

I give up. I don't care about Crusoe or his misfortunes. His castaway life is just one boring thing after another without any wit or insight added by the author, and the character himself isn't interesting or sympathetic enough to make me wonder what happens next. I can't figure out why this one remains in print.
