Finally, finally, finally, I finished this book. The three stars that I gave it above are for Robinson Crusoe, and Robinson Crusoe only. RC was a good read, very interesting and enjoyable, but the Olde English made it a little tougher read. The emphasis on God was also a little much for me, but I think that had to do more with the feelings around the time that the book was written. I would definitly recommend Robinson Crusoe to anyone to read, but I would look for a more, how should I put it, recent version. As far as A Journal of the Plague Year, eh, I would probably give it one and a half stars. It was a tough read, it was presented as a journal of a survivor of the London plague, and while it did come off as one, it also came off as, (again) how should I put it, way too... proper. It was very repetetive, factual, and long winded, and again, the Olde English didn't help it's cause. It had a few good personal stories intertwined, but the rest was hard to take. Most books I read word for word, a better way to describe how I read A Journal of the Plague Year was skimming, and it still took me over a month to read. That should say something in itself. Anyway, now that that's finally done with, it's on to the next one! ( )
