Signet Robinson Crusoe

I bought four other books the same time I bought this one, and I saved this one for last because I was the least excited about it. I thought it could potentially be similar to the book Treasure Island, which I found to be quite mediocre. But the price was right, so I figured I'd give it a shot.And I'd have to say it was definitely well worth reading. But I'm not sure why I liked it so much. Perhaps it was the matter-of-fact writing style, that just kind of tells things the way they are without trying to add any additional suspense buzz-words to events wild enough to stand on their own. That method gives the fictional story more authenticity I think. Great example of showing, not telling. Plus there's a lot of slow build up to certain major events that's enough to keep you interested but not too slow that you forget about what's coming, or you just get tired of waiting. And the author's inclusion of mistakes like the issue with the canoe give it more realism also.So I guess it was just the quality of the prose that drew me in. Great prose can make anything sound good. Even sitting on a deserted island for 20 plus years. And since a good chunk of this book happens in complete solitude, a book format is perfect because books tend to be better about showing what's going on in a character's mind than a movie would be.

Really interesting to read the novel. I have read all the chapters thoroughly.
