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.

I read this classic along with my twelve year old son. We were both enthralled, even though the language was challenging at times and the story was much longer than we anticipated. But it's a pirate story that's entertaining for every age!
Intriguing plot. Definitely an old style of writing with lots of character development. A very enjoyable read. Would recommend.
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.
