Summary: A fantastic suspense adventure
Review: Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is an incredible story that keeps the reader in suspense. In the beginning, the suspense erupts out of a mystery about this "creature" that has ripped apart several substantially atrong ships. To find out, Pierre Arronax and his faithful servant, Conseil, Journey on a ship that finds its way into the harshness of this beast, which actually is a submarine. Then the mystery shifts; How is this ship operated? How can this even be scientifically feasible? And most of all; Where did this Captain Nemo come from and just what is he all about? The events that occur provide clues, and the story becomes more and more suspenseful until.....WHAM!; the story ends. This is a terrific book.

Summary: Pieces of Eight, This Book is Great
Review: There's a whole demographic group out there of students who are not being exposed to this book, who are growing up bereft of any knowledge or feeling for terms like "shiver me timbers" or "smart as paint." One measure of a great book is whether kids like the story itself, and then if there's even more to it to appreciate as an adult. By that measure, this belongs in a well-fitted library and on the floor next to the bed of all your kids.The colluquoy between Israel Hands and Jim Hawkins is as precise a look at good v. evil, materialism v. spirit as you can find, and comes out effortlessly in their brief encounter after Jim has gone back to the ship while the battle between the good guys and the pirates is waged on the island. Whatever else went through Stevenson's mind as he lay dying of consumption in Indonesia after writing this, the way he squares off these concepts amid the diffuse clamor of a bloody mutiny, and using a conversation between a young boy and an illiterate but lethal pirate, is a lasting monument to substance in the midst of what is essentially children's literature.

Summary: Stevenson's Best!
Review: This book is the best book i have ever read! i have already read this book 5 times and i will read it much more in my lifetime. Stevenson blends adventure and intrigue splendidly in this fast paced novel about a young boy who receives a treasure map from an old buccaneer, and his adventures afterward. Hawkins, the boy, meets up with salty pirates and finds good friends in the captain and doctor. i would reccomend that anyone who loves a good book and an exciting thrill should definately read this.

Summary: Interesting Pirate Adventure
Review: Jim Hawkins, a young man living in rural England with his parents, helps run an inn with his parents. His life changes forever when a mysterious dying pirate takes residence at the inn. The shadowy pirate is often on the lookout for strangers who begin to show up in search of the pirate. Rum finally takes its toll on the pirate and he dies, leaving behind a mysterious chest that the strangers are interested in. Upon examination, Jim discovers a treasure map. With the help of Jim's adult friends, a crew is formed to go in search of the pirate's buried treasure on a remote tropical island. The journey is uneventful until, Jim saves the day when he realizes that their crew consists mainly of pirates who hope to cause mutiny upon reaching the island. Ultimately, a raging battle takes place on the island where Jim and his friends must outwit the pirates who are led by the one-legged Long John Silver. For a children's book, this book had a lot of inappropriate material - drinking and violence. I also had a tough time with the old-English writing style and the nautical terms. This book was ahead of its time, though, in terms of the adventure it described, but I was hoping for more. Fans of H. Rider Haggard (ala King Solomon's Mines) will enjoy this book but I was sort of happy to be done with it as some parts were engaging and others were muddled.

Summary: It's an alright book if your into this kind of stuff.
Review: I liked Treasure Island. I thought it was a good book. It wasn't what I had expected though. I expected more violence and characters. Even though there was many characters in the book, it would have been better to have more. With more, there probably would have been more trouble getting the treasure meaning a harder journey. If someone ever made a sequel that was more adventurous, I would read it.

Summary: How to sample treasure
Review: Treasure Island is- I hesitate even to say arguably- the greatest adventure novel ever written. The tale has endured for over a century, and is not likely to disappear from print anytime in the near future. I can only encourage readers to invest in the more expensive Scribner Classic edition, complete with illustrations by N.C. Wyeth. An immortal book deserves an immortal presentation, and Wyeth's paintings bring Stevenson's words vividly to life.
