Daring adventure for everyone

Pros Fun well written adventure for all ages.
Cons Some phrasings may be difficult for little ones to understand on their own.
Recommended it? Yes

I read the children’s classic version of this book back when I was about 8 years old. Since then I had always assumed that somewhere out there lurked the “real” version, which in my mind was pictured to both look and read similar to “The Three Musketeers” or “Moby Dick.” When I finally got around...

Pros The ultimate boyhood adventure story, unforgettable characters
Cons very violent, can easily scare young children
Recommended it? Yes

Instead of directly going into lauding Robert Louis Stevenson's abilities as a writer, I will pause to share with you something that I have just recently learned while going over this book in a literature class. Apparently the map that is published with all copies of Treasure island since it first... Read full review »

"Teen" Treasure Island

Pros Good Adventure Tale
Cons Pinpointed for teenagers
Recommended it? Yes

I finally got around to reading "Treasure Island," and have to admit I am impressed. However, I am 25 years old and feel I would have enjoyed this book more had I read it probably 10 years ago -- the book seems to portray itself best, in my mind, to an avid-reading teen, not as much for someone...

Pros A fun lite read. A page turner
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

This book is a must read for anyone. Fist off, its a classic. Second, its a page turner. The kind of book you could read in a day or two. The story keeps you turning the page, the author does not keep you hanging, he foreshadows in one sentence, and in the next, you know what happened. The chapters... Read full review »

This book I first decided to read because it was supposedly a "good classic book". Now I've books that are horrible classic books and I've read good classic books, but I've never read an incredible classic book. One of the other thing that surprised me was that I don't usually like fighting or... Read full review »
