Normally I am not a fan of nonfiction, but this book was surprisingly good. It is about Alexander Selkirk being marooned on Juan Fernando Island. His story is what Robinson Crusoe is based off of. There is no dialogue so it is hard to get through it, but it's one of those books you can't put down. I was surprised by how much I liked it.
The beginning, when he's on the island is great, then all of the sudden the story revolves around someone else. Then he's depressed and I didn't like it as much, that brings it down a star or two.
Other then that, its a great book, you can picture him on the island, waiting for the Cinque Ports to return.
