From Goodreads
The story of Robinson Crusoe is interesting enough, but some of the minutiae of details in his survival drag on and for me, make it a rather boring read. I used a few reviews that decried Crusoe's morals and use of religion as a weapon and his language (savages, etc.). I was going to comment on these; but, I realized that arguing against somebody's post here on Goodreads would have had the same effect that their scourging of this novel has on Defoe.
SOme of the psychological aspects of this book and Crusoe's inner struggles are more interesting than how to build a hedge, but these became tedious at times. Overall this isn't a bad book - it just ain't great, neither.
