Robinson Crusoe Paperback – November 29, 2017

This edition does not include all of Defoe's famous work, Robinson Crusoe. It has no cover page or publishing information, and ends at chapter 9 mid sentence. Literally the last page of the book ends mid-sentence, with a comma. Terrible. I am just now noting that the cover has a picture of a motorboat - definitely not available at the time of the setting of this book. This edition was negligently put together and should not be sold. Don't buy under any circumstances, it will only make you sad.

I would offer "0" stars, if possible. This edition is thin, without page numbers, and the book ended in the MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE! Obviously, it is not a legitimate copy, and is a fraud. If I had only purchased one copy, I would not be so upset, but I bought 17 copies for a book discussion group and cannot return them! This "publisher" is fraudulent and Amazon should not allow them to sell this knock-off of the real thing. VERY FRUSTRATING!

This is not a complete book; what a scam! It's about HALF of the book and it ends mid sentence. Also, why is there a motorboat with a Yamaha motor on the cover? This book took place in the 1600s; there were no Yamaha motors or motors of any sort at the time of this book. What a rip off! Also there is no publishing info other than "Made in the USA Lexington, KY 17 August 2017" I placed my order for this book on August 17, 2017. I guess they didn't have time to print the entire book???

It's hard to find a copy of Robinson Crusoe. Reviews on other offers complained about missing pages or no ending. This book had print smaller than a medicine bottle label. The photo includes a comparison of the Defoe book on the left with normally printed junk mail on the right. It's not possible to read the text even with a magnifying glass. If it had cost more than $4, I would have returned it.

The version I got is the one with the motorboat on the cover (which makes no sense given this is set in the 1600's). First off, this book just starts on the very first page which was a little strange, but not really a problem. Next, it has no page numbers; I can deal with that as well - after all the book was inexpensive. But then the reason I really hate this version on the book, is that it ends mid-sentence in the middle of chapter ten. Which means this book is good for nothing except the trash.

Had I been responsible, I would have read the reviews and found out this is not the whole book. I am so disappointed!!! I spent money on a partial book. You would do best to not purchase this edition!!

I would give this edition of the book 0 stars if possible. The font is tiny, the book is extremely thin - seems like the publisher was trying to save on the paper when making this edition. This wonderful story is intended to be read by children, but it will be almost physically impossible for a child to read this particular book.

This version, illustrated by NC Wyeth, does have page numbers. However, the text ends when RC leaves the island - nothing about his adventures in England, Spain, and back to the island.

Not quite sure what's going on here. As another reviewer says, above, the text just cuts off halfway through the story. It's clearly a very cheap re-print with no page numbering and a strange front cover depicting a boat with an outboard motor! Please buy this wonderful story reproduced by a publishing house you recognise. I just wanted to re-read something I had read years ago and didn't want to buy a more expensive version, but I did at least expect Amazon to have reprinted the whole story! Oh well...

Poor formatting. Chapter that start halfway though a page with no breaks or change of font this does not happen with every chapter though. I know the original did not come with chapters. It served it purpose but you would be better off spending the extra money for a better quality copy.

I ordered this from amazon, it arrived thought it was a bit thin but having never read it before didn't pay much attention, got to the last page and realised it its only the first part! DO NOT BUY

Bit hard to get into, but, after that excellent read

Very disappointing and slightly strange as no title pages, no numbers on pages, which I can cope with, but main problem is that half of the book missing, stops roughly half way through! Returned book with these comments to be posted another identical copy. Meeting of my reading group in next couple of days and have only been able to read half a book. If you are buying, please us a publishing house that you recognise. Even more bizarrely, why a photo of a motorised boat on the cover?!!
