3.5
I definitely enjoyed this book. I knew some of what was to come but there were still many events which took me by surprise and regardless of my prior knowledge I did not enjoy it any less. The journey is told from the point of view of the young Jim Hawkins who finds himself in possession of a map pointing out the locations of buried treasure form the infamous Captain Flint. This single piece of paper takes JIm on a spiraling adventure through the sea onto Treasure Island.
Many of you, like myself, have seen Disney's Treasure Planet which follows this basic story. Because of this I often found myself picture Long John as a cyborg and some the crew members as the odd alien creature found in the movie. Luckily i soon was able to school my thoughts to those of normal looking people. Although John did keep the voice from the movie that much could not be helped.

Guy narrating this had serious audiobook reader fatigue, got bored of it at around 4 hour mark. Quite a fun, brisk serial
