Produktbeschreibungen
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-- It goes without saying that, in the process of condensing and rewriting these books down to a fourth-grade reading level, most of the distinguished aspects of the works--writing style, language, atmosphere, characterization--have been sacrificed for a simple, not to say simplistic, master-plots approach that conveys the incidents but fails to impart the justification for their continuing endurance in the canon of juvenile literature. The books are illustrated with some attention paid to the sense of the plots and characters. For those who persist in the fallacy that knowing what the so-called "classics" of children's literature are about is a satisfactory substitution for actually experiencing them by reading the original, this series is acceptable. For the rest of us, it's as if someone's painted a guppy white and called it Moby Dick. --Christine Behrmann, New York Public Library

This book is (as you can tell from the back cover) a story about a family who is shipwrecked, and must survive. That's about the extent of the plot.
We are told in excruciating detail about the slaughter of animals and the hunt for semi-familiar natural foods, but very little time is spent on the family themselves. They're cardboard cutouts of real people, with emotions that follow accordingly. Do they ever long for interactions with new people? Fight for more than a page? Show any signs of resentment toward their father for getting them there in the first place? Despair? Scream? Withdraw from the world?
No way. They are thankful for not having died (although halfway through the book I wanted to). The only character with any development is the father, who is annoying, to say the least. He preaches almost continually, and his family listens with rapt attention.
There's a brief sway near the end when a generic English girl must be rescued from "The Smoking Rock", but that can't save the doddering plot. She has none of the pizzazz of the movie character, and there's no romance between her and the brothers.
In addition, for a schoolwork project I had to determine which animals and plants would be living on this island in real life and a massive number of them did not add up. Apparently, the author created a wholly fictional island and populated it with an assortment of wildlife that COULD NOT COEXIST.
Watch the Disney movie. You'll learn less, but you'll enjoy it more. They took the trouble of developing the people.

Johann David Wyss' tale of a family shipwrecked on a deserted tropical island is a book that a person can have mixed feelings about. Most of the mixed feelings are dealing with the realisticness of this book. When the whole crew of the ship mysteriously leaves the ship by lifeboats in the night they are never seen or heard from again. Even when the Robinsons got to the deserted island, which was visible from the ship, no crew members were around. It makes no sense for the crew members just to leave to sea when they are right next to an island. Another non-realistic thing about this book is that they just kept finding more and more new food sources everywhere they looked. I thought that it was a little too convenient for the Robinsons. And Mr. Robinson seemed to know everything about everything, even pointless stuff that you wouldn't think that anyone would know. They might have been on a deserted island, but it was almost as though they had it easy. They book itself was written good, just some of the ideas made me detour from this book. If a person is looking for a well-written book, then I would definitely recommend this book. But if they are looking for a good story line and a interesting plot, then I would recommend that they look for another book.

Similarly to Robinson Crusoe, the Swiss Family Robinson's ship gets hung up on rocks off the coast of a mysterious land. Again, similarly, they manage to salvage some things from the wreck, and provide for themselves off the land. Here the similarities end.
The Swiss Family Robinson plot line is way less convincing! The entire crew leaves the ship by lifeboat in the night, and is never heard from again - and no reason is given for their desertion of just this one family! Oddly enough, their "wreck" never gets really wrecked, but remains intact enough to plunder endlessly. Not to mention that since it was stocked to supply a brand new settlement, it has everything they could possibly need. Fruit trees, livestock, seeds, tools, even a forge and a little ship! Every time they turn around they stumble over another food source or other resource! And Mr. Robinson is a seemingly endless storehouse of knowledge about obscure tropical plants and animals and their uses.
If you are a realist, it is a bit much to swallow!
It is also very religious, and loaded with little morality speeches. There is nothing about illness, all injuries are minor, and nobody ever gets depressed with their lot! And all are continually very grateful for God's providence.
It is a very pretty picture of a family stranded in Eden, all working hard and cheerfully together. Just lovely, but much more sanitized than the truly convincing story of Robinson Crusoe.

Boring
This book was really boring. It gets off to a great start, a family stuck on an island, but then it just gets slower and slower. The Dad won't stop preaching. Much better movie
