    A classic for a reason. Oroonoko’s story is heartbreaking and thought-provoking. Behn’s perspective is interesting but can feel dated. Worth reading, but be prepared for difficult themes.

    Oroonoko is tragic, but a bit melodramatic at times. Still, an important piece of literary history. The book is good but not very good

    I struggled with the language at times, but the story is important. The characters are very well drawn, and the plot is original.

    Oroonoko is a complex and compelling character. The story is heartbreaking. I didn’t enjoy “The Rover” as much. Worth reading!

    I found “The Rover” to be more entertaining than “Oroonoko.” Overall, a decent collection of Behn’s work.

    A unique perspective on a dark period in history. Some of Behn’s views are problematic, but the story is still worth exploring.
