I have been going on and off this book, so it took me a while to finish, but here is what I remembered feeling:
This story is a fun adventure with cool twists and turns. Even knowing the story beforehand, it was cool to see what these characters really are like, as opposed to only knowing how they are portrayed in movies or parodies.
A good idea this book brings up though, is one of psychological fear. Fear is how a lot gets done in the story. Fear is how Captain Flint kept his crew in check, fear is how Flint’s quartermaster, John Silver, was able to control Captain Flint. Fear is how Silver controlled the crew and kept them loyal. Fear is how he was able to stall a violent rebellion from the crew even though he was outmatched in quantity and quality (his missing leg made him handicap).
But what happens if you face fear? That’s what happens here, and the results are a powerful friendship, wealth, and an adventure to remember.

I wasn't the target audience for this, but I'm sure my son will enjoy it someday!
je me faisais juste chier, surement parce que j'avais déjà vu la piéce de théâtre qui etait tarpin bien comparée au livre
I enjoyed this book! It’s a fun and exciting pirate story. Treasure Planet has always been one of my favorite Disney movies - and so it was a joy to read its inspiration. The old/pirate lingo made it difficult at times, but it was still a fun adventure to follow.

Terrible kids book NOT RECOMMENDED
Una gran novela de aventuras y piratas. Cuenta con numerosos y pintorescos personajes que se vuelven entrañables a la vez que fascinantes. Un “must-have” de la literatura.
