Never since childhood have I been so thoroughly immersed in a book -- Jim Crace * Financial Times *
An 18th-century reader, raised on a high-minded diet of elegy and pastoral, must have felt stunned on first encountering the jagged prose of a Daniel Defoe, with its street-wise populism and delight in the commonplace -- Terry Eagleton
Robinson Crusoe has a universal appeal, a story that goes right to the core of existence -- Simon Armitage * Guardian *
Defoe should surely be credited with inventing the English novel * Mail on Sunday *
Defoe was an imaginative genius -- John Carey * Sunday Times *
