Robinson Crusoe- The Incredible Man
I really enjoyed reading this book. I think that Robinson Crusoe is an incredible character who really shows us that life can really be an amazing adventure with unpredictable twists and turns. I am dismayed at all the obstacles that he encountered throughout his life. What amazes me is that there were so many times when I thought that it was all over for him and yet he managed to get himself out of every life-threatening situation. I am also shocked at the fact that he was able to make a fortune while living on a deserted island for 28 years! In my eyes, Crusoe is a remarkable man. Yuliya Korochik

Yes, unmasking fortune after 28 years of absence is just a tad "unrealistic" for me personally. However, I find that his close calls add to the excitement of the read. I can't say I felt at any point that he was in real danger of being eliminated as he is the main character and seldom to authors kill their main characters until the end (one notable exception being James Baldwin who killed of his main character in the very beginning of "Another Country"), however, Crusoe following a very conventional prototype which would unlikely deviate from the main character lives to the end formula.
