Summary
Shipwrecked and castaway, Daniel DeFoe's hard-luck character is still the standard for "growing where you're planted." Captured by pirates, he makes his break in a small boat and undergoes desperate adventures before winning his way back to civilization. But Crusoe proves willing to chance his luck a second time when, after sweating his way to prosperity as a planter in Brazil, he undertakes a voyage that isn't needful... and is marooned on a small island off South America.

Crusoe shows the value of single-minded labor as he pursues ways to feed, shelter, and clothe himself. His ardent wish is to escape his island - why is it that the only people who come there are cannibals? But he spends more than two decades in isolation before acquiring a sidekick - the man Friday you've probably heard of. And who would guess his way to salvation would depend on leading a last-ditch fight against a shipful of mutineers?

This was very well read. The reader is enjoyable to listen to, very good story-telling skills. As for this Daniel Defoe classic book, I love it, at times it is repetitive, and the ending leaves me perplexed everytime. I have always felt like this book should just have ended without the wolves section. With him being rescued and eventually returning to his island to visit. But perhaps reading the 2nd and 3rd books will rememdy that feeling of a rushed ending.

The Author must have had woodcraft skills to to be so on point with what tasked needed to be accomplished and when. Really a joy to follow.

Well, it's a classic. I was surprised how engaging the listing of supplies and the descriptions of moving those supplies from one place to other could be!

What a good book! And quite surprising. Very interesting details with wonderful intellectual and moral insights from this bygone era. Much food for thought. At a time when travel was so limited, it’s easy to see why this was such a popular and important book. The narrator was exemplary.

Adventure, survival and historic. Fantastic. Hard to put down. A taste of life and survival in the mid 17th century.

Mr Smith’s narration in his gentle American accent perfectly suits this book.
