Surprisingly exciting still for such an oft-adapted tale. Cliché for a reason!

DID NOT FINISH: 46%

Was reading it with mum but we gave up.

Well, if you like pirates and adventure, then this book is for you! I read this book when I was younger, so it shouldn't be too hard of a read for younger readers. I also feel like younger readers might get more out of the story, simply because they read for pleasure while older readers are looking to find anything wrong with the story or writing. I just think this is a fun book for anyone looking to get out of a humdrum day.

For a book that influenced the depiction of pirates in popular culture, we don't get very much on the pirates themselves. I was expecting more on Long John Silver for how famous he is, and was a little disappointed he's only prominently featured in a handful of chapters. It was a fairly easy read, though — with the exception of when the author throws in various sailing terminology with zero explanation — so I appreciated that.
