Summary: Extremely delightful!
Comment: 'Treasure Island' is an adventure novel that was written for children, but it will none the less provide much pleasure to the grown-ups. In this book, Steven tells the story of a young Scottish boy named Jim Hawkins, who stumbles upon a dreaded pirate's (Captain Flint) treasure map, and goes in search of it along with the village doctor and the squire. However they are not the only ones who knew about the hidden treasure. They are pursued by the former ruthless crewmembers of Captain Flint, these men will stop at nothing to lay their hands on the map!

'Treasure Island' is absolutely great. From the beginning to the end its filled with non-stop action. Jim Hawkins is telling the story, so as young people are, he is straight to the point. No unnecessary details are given which will certainly appeal to youngsters and best of all it is written in simple and plain English. For children this is a must-read.

If you think 'pirates', 'treasures' are too childish for you then I suggest you read it in your leisure moments. I'm sure you won't be able to put it aside till you've read the last page!

Summary: Treasure Island, the greatest adventure book
Comment: For the past two years I have been searching for the perfect adventure book to suit my dreams, and I finally found it, Treasure Island. This story was told hundreds of years ago and changed over time. The author was Robert Louis Stevenson. This book had 232 pages of jam-packed action. This story was suppost to take place in the Pirate times. There were lots of characters thruout this story, but the two most important ones were Jim Hawkins, the leader of the pack, and Long John Silver, a kind of two faced person. This book was about Jim Hawkins and his friends going to sail to Treasure Island, hoping to find the burried loot of Captain Flint, the toughest of all the pirates. But they didn't know that the crew of their own ship is made up of Flint's old crew, led by the evil, one-legged pirate Long John Silver. Once on the island, Jim and his friends must find the burried treasure and escape efore the pirates capture them. I am not going to tell you the rest of the story because it will ruin a great story like this for you. Have fun reading it!

Summary: reveiw of a pirate story
Comment: Over all I thought the book Treasure Island was somewhat good. I thought at some parts some of it was quite confusing. I do not think it was the writers fault for my confusion. I was confused simply because the book was a bit too challenging for me. I think I could of enjoyed it more if I was older reading it. My favorite part of the book was when they finally found the treasure in the caves. Another part that I liked was towards the beginning of the book when the boy was with captain at the inn. I enjoyed the pirate fights too. Also I enjoyed very much the way the pirates talked in the book because how they used phrases such as "shiver me timbers", "arrg" as well as other similar phrases. The book was not too predictable. I think the author was very clever. I would have never guessed that the treasure would be hidden then re-hidden! That is why I like the book.
There are many reasons why I do not like the book. One thing is that it often went on about things that didn't have to do with the book that much. The pirates would have very long conversations with each other and they took away from my understanding of the plot even though that was probably the authors goal so that I wouldn't guess the ending of the story. It did not have any humor or jokes at all in the conversations or throughout the book, if there were jokes then I was not old enough to understand them. Also, I could not memorize the names of all the pirates. Therefore when they mentioned a name that was not a main character, I did not know whom the Author was talking about. I also did not like how I did not get to know the characters and their personality that well before another character was introduced. Some of these names were: Mary, Tom, and Frank!? I think if I got to know the characters more, it would of made book even better. I also thought there were too many characters. The story was not touching. Unless bad guys randomly killing people, greedy mutinous pirates, and boys taking maps from dead people is touching to you. For so much plot, I didn't feel like I was in the story. It was not compelling. It did not give me any life morals either. I had trouble telling if the characters were good or bad as well. His book was definitely not my favorite but for sure no my least favorite. It could have been more enjoyable. All in all I thought the book was ok. His is why I rated my book 2 out of 5 stars.
