"For many days we had been tempest-tossed...the raging storm increased in fury until on the seventh day all hope was lost." So begins this delightful adventure story. The Robinson family, a Swiss pastor, his wife, and four sons, will emerge alive from this terrible storm, bringing to land two dogs and a shipload of livestock: hens, pigeons, and geese.

Inspired by Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, this uplifting tale relates a family's ingenuity and courage as they struggle to survive on an exotic tropical island.

I started listening to this because I’m reading it for a book club. I don’t always find enough time in the day to sit with the book so I like to have the audio version as well. I was sad when I realized that this version leaves out sections of the book. So I miss a lot of the good philosophical discussions that should be here. For that reason I am not giving it full stars. I didn’t see anywhere that it states it’s a revised version.

See it, kill it. Plus the diversity of fauna is downright unbelievable. Would never have been published in this century.

I've known this story since childhood and loved the Disney movie, but on a reread I fear it does not stand the test of time.

It took me a bit to enjoy the voice of the narrator. The changes in his voice for the different characters is subtle, but you can tell who's who. I always loved this movie as a kid. The book is way more detailed, which is what I expected. However, this was not what I expected. I did enjoy it and glad I took the time to listen.

Not like the movie
