Good adventure story at any age. I never read it as a child as it was considered a boy's book. It's a great tale, very fast paced with interesting characters.
Meh. It's a product of it's time. Would the audiences in the 1700s enjoy and likely devour this? Yes. Especially the people who have never traveled and wonder how one could possibly survive.
From a modern perspective? Yikes. This is long, drawn out, and with a very unlikeable MC.
Good to read once, but never again.
Really interesting. More enjoyable if you put yourself in the shoes of those in Defoe's time; where blatant racism and colonialism were the order of the day. If you read it with a 21st century prespective you'll find a lot of social problems with the story.
