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.

Even though this was a short book, some scenes went on and on. Had to force myself to finish it.
One of the best classics I've read! Easy to digest, perfect balance of dialogue, description and plot movement.
As a big fan of the adaptation "Treasure Planet"- I was just just as entertained and engrossed in the plot and the world Stevenson is building. Not too heavy on nautical jargon, and a lovely read for anyone getting into reading classics and wanting a light and fun start.
