  OK For a Sequel It was quite interesting to see what happened to Robinson's island afterward, but the entire book felt painfully slow to me. If I had known the pace of this book, I likely would have read a summary instead of reading the entire novel. I posted this on 24 October 2011

• Robinson Crusoe finished

  Enjoyable for the most part I found this book quite enjoyable although I was expecting a bit more action. I thought the religious adventures occupied a bit too much time. I was expecting a tale more similar to The Swiss Family Robinson, but I was mistaken. Overall, not a bad read though. I posted this on 24 October 2011

• Around the World in 80 Days finished

  Cute Cute book that was quick to read. At times I found it a bit slow and I would have liked to learn more about the servant's character, but it was a nice light read otherwise. I posted this on 24 October 2011

  Zzzz I really could not get into this book. I found it so hard to read! I didn't actually get through the book - I ended up deleting about half of the instalments I received so I could start a new book...Kudos to those who can get through this one! I posted this on 24 October 2011
