Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I decided to re-read this book I recall enjoying as a youth in this audiobook edition. I find it now a rather shallow, adventure tale made for youthful reading, despite its huge footprint in English literature. Also, the tedious Christian moralizing is wearisome as is the "White man's burden" prejudice that of course Crusoe must have a better plan than a Moorish boy in his element, and a Caribbean native upon being met is best server with death or being made a servant.
