A Great Adventure for all Ages

There are a lot of psychological and social theories about "Robinson Crusoe," but I just take it as a grand adventure. I loved all the details of how he survived after being shipwrecked on that island. Just remember that it was written in the seventeenth century so you have to get used to writing. I have a warm place in my heart for Robinson Crusoe. Some fifty years ago in the second grade, my teacher read it to our class. Decades later, I told my wife about it, but she said that it was impossible. Robinson Crusoe is too difficult for a teacher to read to second graders. Well, several years went by, and I was proved right. In a used bookstore, I bought a copy of "The Story of Robinson Crusoe in words of One Syllable," with "Colored Illustrations." The book was published in about 1900, and when my teacher read it to her class, the book was over fifty years old. Since then I have collected paperback editions of "Robinson Crusoe" for their neat covers, and this one is really nice. If you like shipwrecked-on-an-island stories, read Richard Laymon's "Island." It's a page-turner of a modern murder mystery. Island

Soldier with a kick!!!*****

I really don't like reading, but in no doubt this is one the best books that I had ever read!* For me, it's really hard to just set me down with a good book, but with this one, in every part of the book it was thrilling, there amazing things that no other man can do... In books like these, I can keeping reading, and reading, and I just love it!!! In other books I read like this, there's no fighting, and there's lots of other people stuck on and island, but I think robinson Crusoe goes strong, he's all alone, he's on, what I should say his own island he dominates the island. He's practicaly there his whole life!
