I read it when I was 8 and LOVED it !!
I read it in elementary school and remember liking it as well. Now that I've read it again, I'm pretty sure I must have read one of those watered-down, as-told-by editions. The actual thing is pretty awful.
I just started reading it to my 9 yr old grandson. We are halfway through it. When he comes over again, we will finish it. I enjoy it, I think he does too. It teaches you to look at your surroundings, use your brain, pray for help and God will answer you.
I'm a current sophomore undergraduate student who has read it twice now for British Lit classes and can confirm, it is indeed boring.
This is the second most boring book in the history right after old testament.
I am currently a sophomore undergraduate engineering student. Can confirm it is not at all boring.
I am a former high school English teacher with two bachelor degrees and finishing a master’s in English. Can confirm, this is the most dreadful book I’ve ever had the misery of reading in my entire life.
Sry Mrs. Ellis, I am 29 and got an M.s.c in Computer Science but Robinson Crusoe keeps wasting my time. I mean who is building a boat for months just to figure out that he can't lift it up to the ocean?
Altough I keep reading as I hope to find some hidden gems in the book. It is also my rule to keep to finish books that i stared...
I'm 13 and I like to read books with 700 to 800 pages in them in 3 or 4 days so this book didn't seem boring to me.
Probably because it was so short.
