Summary: Disappointing...
Comment: As of writing this review, I have been reading only classic books for about the last six months. When I began to read Treasure Island, I expected it to be spectacular because of two reasons: it is highly acclaimed and was written by Robert Louis Stevenson, a very good author. Due to my high expectations, I was greatly disappointed. As I said, I have been reading classics recently such as The Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Flies, Siddhartha, Death of a Salesman, etc. All of those books have tremendous meaning to them, but Treasure Island is simply, as many would say, "an exciting novel of adventure." Although I enjoy exciting books, this was a virtually meaningless novel. I give Treasure Island a three, despite my dislike for it, because it seems to appeal to many people. For me, though, it was too immature (not surprisingly, as it is narrated by Jim) and if you are like me, you would much rather spend your time reading a book like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Summary: Great exciting book full of pirates
Comment: This book is great. It's about pirates who are mean and they go on a ship and act like good guys. I liked this book because it was exciting.

Summary: Treasure Island, a Tale of Suspense
Comment: A tale of suspense, filled with pirates, hidden treasure, and a plot not soon forgotten, Treasure Island hits the top of the charts. When Jim Hawkins comes in to possession of the notorious Captain Flint's treasure map, a crew is rounded up and a hunt for the treasure beginns. Little do Jim and his companions, the Squire and Dr. Livesay, know that many of Captain Flint's murderous pirates are part of that crew. That changes though, when Jim hears something not meant for him to hear. He, the Squire, and Dr. Livesay are now unaware of who and who not to trust. It becomes a battle between the good and evil in a race for the treasure. Greed was a major aspect that caused many sailors to turn against what they knew was right; sticking with their captain and boat. But they wanted the treasure for themselves, and their greed consumed them. Just remember though, greed will not get you anywhere, as this book shows. All that it gets you is more trouble than you need. The author, Robert Louis Stevenson, uses foreshadowing, a technique that gives a hint of what is to come, that keeps you wanting more, and creates an atmosphere of mystery. Treasure Island is a "must read" for all who love pirates, treasure hunts, and a great story.
