Great read

Very enjoyable. Walt Disney doesn't follow it at all.

It's only the best book ever❣️I just can't get enough of it ❣️ And the narrator is the best ❣️

my favourite story

A very good and fun book

I never get tired of listening to this book. It’s my go-to book for when I can’t decide what I want to listen to next. Reading is well done as usual by Mark Smith.

I read this as a child but remembered very little of it. Written by Pastor Wyss to teach his four sons about family and Christian values, it was first published in 1812. It is very much a book of its time and tells the story of the adventures of a Swiss family shipwrecked somewhere in the East Indies whilst on their way to Australia. The island contains a multitude of flora and fauna which are unlikely to have occurred on any one island - I wonder if the originators of the TV series “Lost” read this book in their youth. It is a little long winded being full of “how to” sections which if I’d been reading rather than listening I might have given up. The narrator has a lovely, easy to listen to voice.

Kind of a preachy book, but the narrator does an excellent job.

It was tedious at the beginning, there was no real interaction with the characters. The ending was exciting and the characters finally seemed to have a role. All in all, it was pleasant and interesting. The narrator had an excellent voice, and read very well. I felt there were a couple of words that might have been mispronounced, but that could have been differences in local accents.

I was hoping for more from this classic story

Enjoyable listen while driving

A história é igual outras de ilhas paradisíacas, tudo se consegue, tudo dá certo, até acontecer alguma coisa ruim, mas contornável. Achei que fosse gostar mais por ter assistido uma série animada na infância, não foi o caso. O narrador foi muito bom, consegui entender tudo, quando conseguia prestar atenção.

Fanciful tale about a garden of eden type isle that author describes as 'desert isle' and somehow knows all the latin genus of root, flora, and animals found there. Not to be taken literally for island survival.
