Summary: Treasure Island
Review: I read some of the reviewsand some of you were saying it was boring. What are you thinking?! Do you mean that a treasure hunt, pirates, and chases are boring?! The suspense is unbelievable! There is one argument though. It was written along time ago and some of the English is a bit confusing. If you give it a chance and keep a dictionary by your side you'll be OK. On my best books list this is definitely in the top 5. The adventure and suspense just makes you want to read more. You're missing out if you don't read this book. To give you a bit of an idea of the content it is about a boy who is on a race against a bunch of creepy pirates to find buried treasure.

Summary: an exciting classic that keeps up suspence
Review: It was a great book but really confusing. I started with the 'wishbone' version so when I read the unabridged version I understood it much better. This is a MUST READ classic if you like pirate adventure, excitement, and suspence.

Summary: I'm glad I took the time to read this book to my children!!
Review: Having never read the book before (I'm 33 years old),I purchased it at a gift shop at Treasure Island, Las Vegas just for something fun to do with my girls. I then read two or three chapters an evening to them, although some of the dialogue sounds funny out loud and hard to understand. Even when I felt too tired to read some evenings, you should have seen them beg me to "Just read one chapter, Mom"! I have turned this one book into a nightly ritual. We have chosen "Kidnapped" to read next and the girls are looking so forward to it!

Summary: Have you wondered why am I in here?
Review: I have...It is the most boring book ever..everything is confusing and the story does not make a common sense or even an interesting sense...In other words: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! They talk about the Hispaniola(boat) for 2 chapters!!!! It is boring! I had to read that and I did not finish reading it...there are spider webs all over it. I do not recommend this book! I am a great reader, and I love to read books, but not Treasure Island.

Summary: Booooooooooorrrrrrrring!!!
Review: I had to read this for a 7th grade class... I got what was happening (mostly), but it was the dumbest story. There was no point and i was about to fall asleep halfway through- Totally boring! Save your time, or if you do get it, DON'T get the old version- the conversations are even harder to understand.

Summary: A pirate - adventure story
Review: "Treasure Island" is a great book which shows the way pirates really behaved. It also tells a story about the big courage of a boy who had only served in an inn his entire life. The book shows that everyone can rescue the world or at least help an old lady across the street if he only believes in himself.
