4.0 out of 5 stars A manual on how to survive as a poor gentlewoman in 18th century England
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2014

Moll Flanders is the story of a very resourceful woman whom despite being born destitute with no parents in Newgate Prison uses all of her street smarts, and wits to ensure she does not lead a life of poverty. The book gives an amazing insight into the difficult life of a women from the lower middle classes, because Moll has a desire from an early age not to be a servant but to be a gentlewoman. Told in the first person, the reader agonises with Moll as she plots and plans to consecutively get new husbands, following the deaths of a number of them, who have sufficient resources to keep her, and in the process avoid fortune hunters and deal with unwanted children. Finally with no looks left to attract a needed partner and a number of abandoned husbands still living she launches into a successful life of crime. Written by Daniel Defoe it is not as well known as Robinson Crusoe but like that it is an entertaining narrative as well as an insight to an individual's interior life including their moral struggle of the choices they make. Although written with the purpose of warning against debauchery, Moll is a fascinating and loveable character so I doubt that it would have had the desired effect. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bad edition, typos and very bad formatting (spacing, paragraphs, etc.)
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2013

The novel isn't bad if you like moralizing tales like the Scarlet Letter but not as well written, but this copy is very bad. There's barely any formatting, the physical book itself is poor quality even for a cheap paper back, and there are more than a few typos. Granted I should have checked for a publisher before I bought it, but as a warning to others - better to get a cheap Penguin copy or something than this one.

Having embarked on a new reading avenue of classics I found this book to be very saucy for a book written in1653. What was even more interesting was that it was written by a man. DeFoe has an extremely interesting writhing style. It was easy reading and o e easily adapts to the style and word usage! I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2014

Defoe puts the reader into an era of where there were great injustices and great was the price incurred by those who fell short of the morals of the times. It was amazing that a criminal could hang for stealing a piece of lace.
A woman had only one chance to marry well, if she didn't' she could face a life of poverty or in Moll Flanders case a life of crime and moral degradation. Defoe TAKES the reader through Moll's first moral lapse, her complete moral bankruptcy and her eventual redemption. My only complaints were; Defoe spent too much time on Moll's crimes, it got boring after the thirtieth way she conned or stole from someone, and also after her conversion she still had no problem spending her ill-gotten gains and lying to both her son and husband. Still a great book and I will read it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling story of one woman's struggle to survive in historic England
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2016
Verified Purchase
One of my absolute favorite books. It follows the ups and downs of a woman who does anything and everything she can to survive and occasionally thrive. Moll is a thief, a wife, a servant, a whore, a mother, an abandoner of children, etc. She is sometimes "good" and often "bad" but you are always invested in her survival, even at the times that you don't like her very much. In a weird way, she reminds me of Scarlet O'Hara from Gone with the Wind, but with a lot more downtrodden moments. There are quite a few mature themes throughout the book, so some people may wish to supervise if they have any children that are interested in reading this novel.

For anyone who enjoys this novel, the  BBC Miniseries  is a great adaptation, but stay away from the  Hollywood version of Moll Flanders

I found this novel to be rather dull and drawn out. I was not impressed by the story or the history of the main character. The story seemed simplistic compared to other writings by the author.

Um título obrigatório para quem conhece o personagem, Mol Flanders, que já recebeu várias encarnações no cinema, como Kim Novak nos anos 60 ou Alex Kingston (mais tarde célebre como uma das estrelas da série Doctor Who) nos anos 90. Na mesma linha do personagem Tom Jones de Henry Fielding, Mol Flanders representa a outra metade da moralidade libertina da sua época... um clássico.
