By Luke, The United States

"Plain an almost dull on the surface, by the end you realize it's a beautiful tangle of practically all the important late-twentieth century literary themes in just about 150 pages. And that's not even getting into the whole South African thing. This is a great book, especially for a book club, which is why I read it (for work). We read Robinson Crusoe just before, so that makes this book even crazier. Good stuff."

"This one was on my Daughter's reading list for a novel course. They're reading it as a companion piece to Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. You might think this is the Mrs. Cruso's story (didn't know there was another person on that island, heh?) or you might think it is the Mrs. de Foe story ... it's an interesting text and a quick read."

"David warned me that I wouldn't like this book and I should have listened, but I wanted a short book for a train ride. Coetzee has an interesting premise, imagining if a lone woman had washed up on Robinson Crusoe's island, and then hired Daniel Defoe to write her story. But he sacrifices character and narrative to his ideas, making the book (for me at least) boring and overly intellectual."

By Matthew, Ithaca, NY

"Foe is a book that has flourished in the musty halls of English Literature Buildings but has little appeal to the rest of the world. The first fifty pages were quite good, but then the story devolves into a confusing and unsatisfying character study. At points I felt like I was reading one of the lengthy rants from an Ayn Rand book where you just tune out.

I certainly respect the opinions of others who found brilliance in this book, but I don't share their view."
