I've read this novel several times and decided to now come back and review it. Simply for the purposes of adding this book to my 'have reviewed' imaginary list.
I doubt few people have no clue of the plot of Treasure Island. The tale of Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver has been practically immortalised through various films. All I should say is that if you haven't read this and only seen the films around you should come back and read this.
For this is in essence one of the great action adventure classics. It has battles, pirates, conspiracy (in a way) and treasure. If you enjoy a taste of the swashbuckling then read this. I may be tempted to come back soon and read this again...
