A review by functionalstoic
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, J. Donald Crowley
2.0
I had high hopes for the book, but in the end, I just wasn't a fan of Robinson. If anyone deserved the many setbacks he encountered, he was definitely the guy.
He did indeed overcome many obstacles and it is commendable to illustrate that accomplishment. But his poor treatment of the native people along with his inability to be content with any situation left me feeling that he deserved every bit of it.
But, maybe that was the point. Maybe the recap is that an insufferable & discontent individual will run into many avoidable obstacles.
