Book Review 1

Title: The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe
Author: Daniel Defoe

Summary: Robinson Crusoe was born in 1632 in British. His father was German and his mother was British. Robinson was getting tired of the peaceful life in British. He decided to become a sailor and travel around the world. He took a ship in 1659, travelling from Brazil to Africa.
One day, a terrible storm came and broke the ship. Robinson and the crew on the ship soon struggled for help in the waves. All of the people on the ship were drowned to death, except for Robinson. Robinson reach the land unconsciously and he found himself alone on a unfamiliar, deserted island with no food, no boat and no way to escape from the island.
He lived on the island for 27 years alone and he learned to build houses, plant cropsand use animal skin to make clothes.

Review: I like adventurous story and I enjoyed them very much. I think this story educate me to become independent. I admire Robinson Crusoe as he was a very persevering man and had strong willpower. He was managed to stay alive on the island. He was also quick to change and adapt to the unfamiliar surroundings. He could change from an ambitious sailor to a survivor on an island. Hence, I like Robinson Crusoe and the story.
