... reading with my 9 year old daughter...

I've read all these books way back when I was a child and I've read them numerous times. This book is the second book by this author that my daughter and I have read together. She loved it dearly.

Five on a Treasure Island is a fun adventure novel with a lovable cast of characters. It conveys fantastic messages that are important for children and adults alike. I think its biggest flaw is the writing. I know that it's written for children and that the chapters need to be short and to the point, but that really killed my excitement at times. I got into it and boom - chapter done. The last few chapters I felt were the weakest in terms of writing. It was underwhelming and very simplified, and the dialogue awkward. Despite the issues, I did enjoy the novel and I'm glad it got me into the reading habit. I did not realise there were 21 books in this series, so I doubt I'll continue this.

Bisa dibilang buku ini adalah novel pertama yang gue baca. Tapi ga ketemu edisi yang gue baca di goodreads mungkin udah saking edisi jadulnya kali ya.
I love Enid Blyton. Dulu hampir koleksi semua seri Lima sekawan ini tapi gara-gara pindah rumah bukunya ilang semua :'(
