Summary: The book wasn't the worst I've ever read!!
Review: I thought that it was a good book. I liked how the author described all of the places they visited and each of the different attacks. I just didn't like how Long John changed his character so often. He should have remaind the same more, even though it was incorperated with the plot.

Summary: Alex Dombroff's/ Mrs. Wasserzug's class review
Review: Now, there are many books that I've read that I just don't like, but unfortanitly this book sits on the top of this list. The story line seemed
to lose me in more than one part, especially when Jim Hawkins
and all the rest are fighting off
buccaneers. Maybe it was just the leval I was reading this book at (sixth grade), but if it
wasn't as boring as I believed it was possibly I would have come back and looked at it more
than I did while first reading it. I believe for the most part though, that
it should be read by an older crowd of 7th or even 8th grader!!
In my thoughts I really though the book was not good at all.

Summary: The Hispinula sinks
Review: our entire class read this novel and not one of us could understand a single word that was written. The constant change in place become confusing untul they got to Treasure Island. How could someone fall asleep in a coracle and an apple barrel? People have told me it was a classic when they thought it was terrible. At the end of the book I had no idea if Ben Gunn was on the ship or still on Treasure Island

Summary: Treasure Island Matey!
Review: Treasure Island I believe is not well suited for youngsters. They don't understand action, adventure on the high seas, lots of rum, cutlass-bearing pirates, ships, and mutiny like an older read would. Older readers have seen a bit of that. If your older and still love action and adventure, zest for life, I won't steer ya wrong matey!, read Treasure Island. Now avast ye landlubber! and get off my ship before I keel-haul ya to the briny deep!

Summary: THE SHIP HAS SUNK!
Review: The entire seventh grade at my school read this book. 3 out of 356 kids actually enjoyed it! I was one who did not, and I read at a 12th grade reading level! This book was pathetic, except for the premise.

Summary: It was a great adventure book for all young readers
Review: This was a good book because it combined the passion of Shakespear and the adventure of a walk in the woods. - Billy Kidney, age11

Summary: Review of "Treasure Island"
Review: Stevenson's "Treasure Island" is remarkably well written, containing fascinating bits of foreshadowing, a unique and captivating plot, and undying characters that will burn into your mind indefinitely.
My personal favorite character is Long John Silver, who throughout the novel seems almost schitzofranic. His one side is well-mannered, charming and witty, while his other face is ruthless, sly and money-driven.
In Part One, "The Old Buccaneer", the strange new pirate pays Jim Hawkins a gold piece daily "to watch out for a one-legged man hobbling down the street." This is truly good, almost humorous, foreshadowing.
The ending is perfectly crafted by Stevenson; it closes with Jim Hawkins describing his predictions for the destinies of the pirates he has traveled with.
Thank you, Robert Louis Stevenson, for contributing one of literatures' most amazing works.

Summary: yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Review: I have never been very interested in pirates or plunder or the skull and crossbones flag until I read this book. Captain Long John Silver has been quite a fictional figure not only for my self but for the world (ex. Long John Silver's restaraunts). I must admit that I liked the book, but there was a flaw in it that I found. Jim Hawkins made the plotline a little too obvious at times. In one spot expecially, might I point out, he says that the apple barrel would in time save them all. Now that's a little obvious, don't you think? Perhaps if the author had found a way to avoid these give-aways I would have been more surprised with the story line than was when I read it for the first time. In the end, it's an exceptional piece of work, but the author did make some unforgivable mistakes at making the plot too obvious too soon. Oh well. I do have one more thing to say, though. Fifteen men on the dead mans chest! Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest! Yo, ho, ho, and another victory in the adventure field

Summary: I loved this book
Review: I loved this book. It was one of the best I ever read. Ben Gunn was my favorite character. I think it was better than the Disney movie. Captain Flint, the parrot, was the best mimicker I ever heard of. I'm sorry the book is over.--- Leah Kohn, Age
