Egad! You'd think being shipwrecked on a desert island for twenty-plus years would be exciting, but you'd be wrong! Whole years- decades, even- are glossed over in favor of details like "how to make raisins" and "should I keep a pet goat?" Battles are recounted in such pedantic style that they are rendered equally confusing and boring, and Crusoe himself us is so bland and self-absorbed by turns that I didn't care what happened to him!
