I don't like this book so much because I don't judge it very interesting, but I was surprised by Robinson's ability to adapt everywhere. In fact he shipwrecks in a desert land so he builds a shed using what he finds in nature and eats everything edible to survive. I don't know what to do in a similar situation but it's not easy changing own life in short order. So, apart from an adventure story that is very engaging, I have appraised best Robinson's qualities. I have read this book imaging how Robinson could face the consequences, so I can suggest this book to everyone who, however, likes adventure genre.
