Summary: A Great Book
Review: When I started reading it in reading class I thought "Great, anthor book we have to read" like any other 1st grade student would say. but when we started reading it, it was really interesting and i was thinking that there should be a sequil to the book. Everyone in my class wrote a chapter to the sequil and it came out great...we made it into a play and acted it out. it was so much fun.

Summary: Real World Writing
Review: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson is by far one of the best adventure stories I have ever read. This book deserves all five stars, it has everything you could ask for such as, suspense, comedy, action, drama and a great plot line. R.L. Stevenson puts a lot of detail into his main characters such as Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins just to name a few. He describes the scenes with such great detail that at times I had to remind myself that it is only a book. I spent more than 2 months reading this book and I enjoyed every part of it. I could RARELY find a paragraph that was dull, the book was very exciting overall. This book is fairly easy to read and I would recommend it to adults and children of all ages. The book moves at a very good pace, not too fast, not too slow. This book is anything but boring, something new happens in every chapter for instance, when Jim witnesses a murder and when he gets into bar fights, those are just some of the many things that happened. I was very surprised myself when I read this book because it seems a little childish but in fact it's quite the contrary. I highly recommend that you go out and read this book!

Summary: Adventure from start to finish
Review: What a great book, the suspense, action, tension and adventure between the front and back covers is absolutely phenomenal. I was amazed that even with such an explosive plotline, the story is in no way rushed; in fact it is quite the contrary. Each chapter gets its fair share of events and specific plotline, which really is an advantage to the book all the way along, it, is not boring in any paragraph whatsoever. Each character gets their own individual personality, such as feelings, emotions, and the decision of "What would this character do if this happened?" It is clearly obvious that R.L. Stevenson spent most time on the character of Long John Silver, whose personality changes from good to bad to good to bad almost within every chapter, and also the character of Jim Hawkins, who finds the adventure just one long disaster after another, finding himself in the most dangerous of situations: Almost being stabbed to death, overhearing a mutiny plan, witnessing a murder and stumbling into the enemy to name a few. Each chapter sends the reader onto a total roller-coaster ride of emotions, including sadness, comedy, rudery and tension making Treasure Island definitely worth reading, the only problem with it is that once you start reading it, you won't be able to put it down!

Summary: Delightful at any age
Review: I missed reading Treasure Island as a child, but I'm happy to write that I enjoyed it thoroughly as an adult. The plot is simple yet entertaining, and moves at a rapid pace despite Stevenson's vivid descriptions and well-developed characters. This particular edition, by the way, is beautifully bound, with stunning illustrations and rugged, high-quality paper.

Summary: Treasure Island a real treasure
Review: I highly recommend Treasure Island by Robert Lewis Stevenson because it has an excellent plot and theme. Stevenson also writes using lots of details, and many interesting similes and metaphors. This story of adventure fiction tells about Jim Hawkins the young protagonist who happens upon a treasure map. He then joins up with Dr Livesey who will lead the adventure and the dangerous voyage filled with obstacles, and the evil pirate Long Jon Silver and his crew in search of the buried treasure. The story begins in England in the year 1854, but they then sail to Treasure Island. This book is written in past and present tense from the points of view of Jim Hawkins, and Dr Livesey. Here are some examples of Stevevson's writing as he uses several details. "From the side of the hill, which was here steep and stony, a spout of gravel was dislodged, and fell rattling and bounding threw the trees." Here's an example of Stevenson's great skill as he uses similes and metaphors. "From trunk to trunk the creature flitted like a dear, running man like on two legs, but unlike any man I had ever seen stooping almost double as it ran." Every page is exciting and thrilling, often leaving the reader hanging on the edge, not knowing what's going to happen next. I think the chapter titles are really nice because they give you a small idea about what's coming up next. If your looking for an exciting and adventurous story I think that you would truly enjoy this book.

Summary: A classic story
Review: Treasure Island is one of the best adventure stories of all time. I really enjoyed all of the characters in this book, although I think a few too many of the good people died. The story starts off a little slow but it speeds up very quickly. I really liked all of the battles they had on the island. I also enjoyed Jim Hawkins sea adventure. Long John Silver is one of the greatest pirates, if not the greatest, of all time. Treasure Island is one of my favorite books and I still like to read it every now and then. Make sure you read this classic story as well.

Summary: Treasure Island Review
Review: Treasure Island Bantam, 1981, 194 pp., $2.25 Robert Louis Stevenson ISBN 0-553-21249-4 "Fifteen men on a dead man's chest. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!" This was the song of the seaman who entered the Admiral Benbow Inn that night. He carried with him a large chest. Little did young Jim Hawkins, the son of the owners of the inn, know that what he would find in that chest would send him on the biggest and possibly the last adventure of his life! A parade of characters ranging from the good, Dr. Livesy, to the evil incarnate, Pew, keeps readers sitting on the edge of their seats. So raise the mast, hoist the anchor, batten down the hatches, and prepare for 194 pages of swashbuckling, sea faring, treasure hunting adventure!

Summary: Skilled Fantasy of Human Greed
Review: Treasure Island is one of a small number of books that are both for children and adults. The appeal of the book for children relates to the story line: pirates, buried treasure, sea voyages to faraway places, and a boy hero. The appeal of the book for adults is in seeing a wonderful example of how events operate at many different levels. Long John Silver quickly becomes the focus for adults. What is his true nature? What will he do next? Clearly, Silver is one of the most interesting and memorable of all fictional characters. A problem that children will have with this book is that the language is somewhat foreign to them. Some adults and children will find that the book starts slowly compared to newer novels (which often have the equivalent of a chase sequence in the first 5 pages). My advice is to stick with the story for the first 6 chapters, and see how you are doing. By that time, the story will either have cast its spell on you, or you will be able to tell that this book is not for you. A final reason for reading Treasure Island is because the book has been read by so many people. You will find references to the story in other literature and in conversation with others. You will also run into establishments called The Admiral Benbow Inn. It would be a shame not ot know its heritage. Also, finding someone else who likes Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver for the same reasons you do is a great shortcut to becoming better acquainted. Personally, I found the story irresistible. I would have written a very similar book if I had the skill to do so. The plot is nicely balanced, and the characters provide an unusual perspective for what could easily have been a real potboiler with little to recommend it. The book has great charm, given its focus on pirates, which makes it compelling for me. I have now read the book 3 times, and enjoyed it more each time. Have a great read!

Summary: Something Cool!
Review: I read the book Treasure Island. At first the book was hard to get but as I went farther in the book it got easier. At the start of of the book. Jim and his mom owned a bed and breakfast.One of the customers was the Captain and he had a lot of treasure. A sailor named Blackdog killed the Captain and looked for the treasure but couldn't find it. Jim took the treasure and went to the town doctor's house. When the other pirates came Jim and the doctor left on the ship, Hisponolia.
