Long John Silver will never die.

Very enjoyable book with some good character building, especially given the main character was also the narrator so the whole book had the pirate-style language which made it easier to dive into the world. It's hard to say this story isn't anything new because it kind of created the genre back in 1883, so pretty solid story given how old it is. I wish certain plot points were more developed, but in the end it was more about the characters. 

This book is well written and descriptions of the characters and places really did conjure up the sea and island. I just think for me that it was overly strung out at some points and as another reviewer said as a child I might have appreciated more possibly. Glad I've read it but won't be one I'll revisit

I couldn't get into this book and I just didn't really like it.

Well written, and action packed. Easy to follow, despite being written 140 years ago.
