I tried to read it. I really did. But it's taken me so long to get to page 90, and so much frustration because I'm not committed to Crusoe as a character, that I can't finish the book right now. That Crusoe is ingenious in his design of his camps and producing various crops is marvelous and I always get excited during these descriptions. But apart from these, I found the pace of the novel maddeningly slow.
I'm sure in the future I'll pick it up and the story will resonate in a way it didn't before. But for now I'm going to have to accept that reading novels is only helpful if you take something from them.
I can't even rate it yet. You'll have to wait for Part II for that.
