Book Reviews of The Swiss Family Robinson
Book Review: A great adventure
Summary: 4 Stars
The Swiss Family Robinson became a favorite after I read it for the first time when I was thirteen. A Swiss family is shipwrecked on their way to help begin a new colony. Everyone else being lost, they manage to escape to the neaby shore, returning to collect all the useful supplies from the ship. The father's ingenuity seems to make nearly everything possible. The story culminates with the possibility of returning to Europe, and the family deciding that their colony, New Switzerland, as they call it, is their home.
Written by a pastor, throughout the book thanks are given to God for their blessings, and His help is implored in times of danger. He is remembered in devotions and family prayer every morning, and Sundays are set apart from the rest of the week.
I enjoyed the British accent of the narrator, and will certainly listen to the CDs many times.
