Love love loved it! Always hesitant to do an old “classic,” as I’ve read so many classics where I’m like “why, sweet baby Jesus!” But this one is so fun! Great read aloud or family read!
It was hard to get through at some points (reading for a class) but there are some really interesting things to analyze tbh.

Singing 15 men on a dead man's chest' for days on end now.
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson is dramatic adventure of pirates, treasure, and it’s associated perils. The narrator—Jim Hawkins—shows a child-like innocence of the good and bad during the pirate age. Treasure island is a classic for many reasons. Unique characters with realistic environments. I enjoyed the pacing of the book and more so the main antagonist—Long John Silvers—who you like, them hate, and finally tolerate. I learned many that treasure island started many of the tropes associated with sailing and pirates(peg leg, parrots, and specific songs). Overall, a classic that all should read sometime.

One of the oldest books based on pirates and treasure hunt, that adapted into many movies and series. Treasure Island has introduced about Davy Jones, Jolly Roger, a one-leg pirate with a parrot, dead's men chest that was further improvised and used in the Pirates of Caribbean Sea movie series.
Robert Louis Stevenson narrated this book by a teenager's perspective, Jim Hawkins. One day he found a map to a mysterious island that holds immense treasure. With the help of his town's men, he starts a voyage but got betrayed in the way. A few deadly pirates want this treasure and then start the chase and bloodshed. Jim finds Ben Gunn on the island; he was abandoned to rot. Soon, they got acquainted and helped each other, but Ben has some secrets that no one recognizes. The twist in the last few chapters clears his position and make the story perfect.
Not many people write about pirates and treasure hunts, so this book is a must-read. Although, in some places, I felt bored. The simple language and willingness to finish this book gets me going. It is a fast-paced book, loaded with egocentric deadly pirates who will kill anyone that comes in their way. Overall, this book is best suited for young readers, but if you're into classics, give it a try.
