Review ebook Robinson Crusoe 2244
One of the ways I judge a book is if I’m left wondering if there’s a sequel coming. This little gem has me anxiously waiting for the next book. I think of the “Hunger Games,” “Ender’s Game” and “Divergent” and the cast of characters in each, and what has happened in each of these post apoplectic worlds, and none of them have anything over this fast moving story.
I liked the short chapters, reminded me a little of the pacing and story telling in The Da Vinci Code.

I liked the short chapters, reminded me a little of the pacing and story telling in The Da Vinci Code. A lot is going on and there’s not always an answer to how Robinson’s going to get out the next jam, but a little spoiler here, he does make it out and comes through a lot, sometimes miraculously.
My favorite character is the girl Robinson meets and nicknames, “Friday.” I think you’ll find like I did that she’s one of the more interesting and well conceived female characters I’ve had the pleasure of meeting lately. She’s one part Lisbeth, another part Katniss, and another part Xena the princess warrior and more.
Robinson Crusoe, the main 16 year old protagonist, is really one of us even though it’s set 200 plus years in the future, English, part of a civilization we may not like, but we understand it. The civilization that Friday is part of is unique and powerfully drawn. They are warriors and blood thirsty, yet orderly, believe in God, so much so that death is not to be feared. Maybe some traits of the Incas and Aztecs. But the fact that a female can become someone so amazing and powerful as Friday rocked my world a little. I love her like I loved Lisbeth, the girl with a dragon tattoo.
Give this book a try. It’s a fun and great ride. Could be the start of a great new series. Good job, Robinson! By the way, I like the name and it certainly has a loose similarity to the orginal, but I worry that people may take it too literally.
