Summary: The best high seas book
Review: I just finished Treasure Island and I think it's an awsome high seas adventure book. I think Stevenson did a great job on this book and should do more books like it. I was so thrilled with it im now reading Kiddnaped and it's pretty good so far. More people should read this book.

Summary: This book is not for kids, it is for thoughtful adults!
Review: I don't know why Treasure Island is described as a children's book. There is no way a child can comprehend the complexities of emotions, etc. that Stevenson so perfectly chronicles. I have read this book three times and can't wait to read it again in a couple of years. Treasure Island is like a Steven Spielberg movie in is largeness and vividness. Spielberg should actually give this movie a go, he is the only one who could afford to do it right. Robin Williams has to play Ben Gumm. One of my favorite books!

Summary: Exciting and Suspensefull.
Review: I highly recommend reading Treasure Island to anyone who likes suspenseful classics. Although Robert Lewis Stevenson wrote it in 1883, the classic is still in print and is appropriate for anyone in grades 5-8. The journey begins with no major problems, but when Jim and the rest of the crew approach their destination everyone on the ship gets their own idea of the way things are going to work. Throughout the story Jim Hawkins, the main character, takes risks for the well-being of himself and his colleagues. Finally, his shipmates lose faith in him but he prevails. The events that take place in this story are extremely exciting and surprising. This book is one of my favorites and should be read by all.

Summary: Exciting adventure for mature readers
Review: A blood thirsty tale of greed and treachery and desperate men. It's a scurvy lot of buccaneers with the likes of Squire Trelawney no morally better than Long John Silver, both smitten with festering lust for blood soaked treasure.I recommend the Harrap edition illustrated by Ralph Steadman for a vividly enhanced adventure. GOOD STUFF.

Summary: For the old not the young!
Review: I just got finished reading this book. I can't believe this was called a classic this book could barely hold my attention! The only one I liked was Captin Flint because I like birds but besides that I wouldn't read it! wait untill your older! my class read it and no one liked it! Alot of people told me that this book shouldn't be recommended to kids who don't like sea adventure, prirates, or anything under that category!

Summary: A great book to read to your children.
Review: I chose this book to be my first attempt at reading a chapter book to my daughter. The short chapters (12 pages average) are great for our one chapter a night bedtime reading. We often talk about the young hero, Jim, and what he had done the night before. She follows the plot well but the vocabulary promts many questions. The overall story is wonderfull and continues to hold her attention.

Summary: A good adventure story
Review: I recently read this book for the first time--in one sitting. It is a captivating tale that keeps the pages turning. A good read for both young adults and adults alike. However, the more real-world experience the reader has, the more enjoyable the book will probably be.

Summary: A timeless classic
Review: I recently read Treasure island for the 1st time and it's not hard to see why it is the definitive pirate tale. Every one from the Muppets to Monty Python(Yellow Beard) have drawn upon the characters so richly created by Stevenson. How many truely authentic pirate stories lack a Long John Silver like character with his single leg and a parrot on his shoulder squawking "pieces of eight" or a drunken rendition of "yo ho ho and a bottle of rum". In fact so many of the striking images associated with tales of piracey on the high seas were created in this book that reading the original almost seems cliche. The mark of a true classic. What Dracula was to Vampires and Robinson Caruso was to castaways (anyone seen the "Robinsons" in Lost in Space Recently) Treasure Island is to Pirates. An absolute must for readers of all ages.
