Treasure Island
One of the best-loved adventure stories ever written, Treas-ure Island's timeless tale of pirates, lost treasure maps, mutiny and derring-do has appealed to generations of readers ever since Robert Louis Stevenson penned it in 1881 with the claim: If this don't fetch the kids, why, they have gone rotten since my day.
But more than just a children's classic, the novel is considered to be one of the greatest feats of storytelling in the English language, with characters such as the unforgettable Long John Silver becoming part of the cultural consciousness. Treasure Island is a coming-of-age story that will captivate both adults and children for as long as stories are told.BUY THE BOOK

It's a wonderful book, very well written and is never dull. There are just some graphic and uncomfortable moments which caused me to lower it down from 10 to 8.
Good classic adventure novel about pirates. Learned alot of terminology pertaining to boats and sailing!
This book popped up to read for bookclub. I was reluctant to read it because the story had been done so many times. I am glad I read it, though, because there's a reason it's a classic. The story is good, but old. It appeals to both young and old.
I will probably reread it in the future when I don't have as much going on, but I did enjoy the book and I was glad for a break in the genres I have been reading otherwise.
