TO BE RELEASED.

Caught in the howling turmoil of hurricane and tidal wave, a young gentleman merchant named Robinson Crusoe was flung onto the shore of a deserted tropical island. His ship-- destroyed. His crew--dead. His location-- unknown. The only humans across the ocean--were savage cannibal tribes.

Cruso was without food, without shelter, without supplies- and had never trained to live apart from the luxuries of civilization. But somehow, using only wreckage and his wit, Robinson Crusoe would have to learn to survive. Without help. Without hope of rescue.

Alone.

I inadvertently signed myself up for this book, thinking it was another, but all is good in the end, because I haven't read this one either. It may be a little while before I get to it, but I'll be sure to appreciate it sometime when the mood strikes me right for a "roughing it" adventure. Thanks! By the way, I offered The Secret Garden, taken by Valkyrie119 to further the game.

Yay! recieved today. Thanks! I will let you know how I like it.

I wanted to read this book after reading Long John Silver, mainly because of the conversations between Silver and Defoe about this book. While the book and its long string of events entertained me, I felt that it could have had some more development. I understand that the book was written in a time where in order to get published one would have to include some religious significance and I think that Defoe did a good job of including this without forcing to reader to agree with the views expresses.

Thanks for the opportunity to read a novel of a different style than I am used to. I have passed the book onto a co-worker who showed interest. I also passed on the Bookcrossing idea in hopes that we can snare another bookcrosser!
