Read Treasure Island many years ago in school and faintly remembered it so I thought it would be fun to read it again. I was very surprised at how much I actually forgot! This classic holds up so well and is still an enjoyable quick read.

Our grandson read this with his 4th grade class. That inspired me to read, Treasure Island” for the first time. It’s a great book and the surprises never end.

Great book

I loved this book. My sister( who HATES read at all) loved it as well as had read it many times like myself. I cannot even put into words how wonderful this book is. Definitely a keeper. If you don’t like this book then I must say that you don’t understand what good, classic literature is.

I really liked how the book actually read like a tale, how the main character told the story from his point of view. I admit that it took a long time for me to get through the book and I think the only reason I was able to do so while also having a fair understanding of the story is because I read the ebook on my phone and was able to highlight words and look up definitions while I was reading. The vocabulary, verbiage, and even grammar was so different back then and I had trouble keeping up at times. I enjoyed the plot twists and appreciated the fact that I actually laughed out loud a few times at the subdued yet clever humor. Overall, I am happy to have been able to finish this book, which I consider to be a classic historical piece, and put it on my virtual bookshelf.

This was a surprisingly entertaining read. The events of the story are quite different from what happens in Treasure Planet (Disney, 2002). What's great is that this novel is a unique adventure in itself and easy to read as well. I had a blast with this.

What a superb read ! I went over most passages twice, they were so enjoyable. Unbelievably rare that a book written in 1885 still has every word interesting and exciting to the modern reader. Long John Silver is an amazing character , and all the characters are well drawn - RLS had a superb knowledge of human mature. Read it - you will be glad you did!

I have seen two movies based on this book that I have never read. This book is far better then any movie can give justice. Lots of twist and turns in he story.

amazing book

I don’t read much, and I never write reviews on anything, but this book is deserving of one. Definitely my favorite pirate story so far.
