Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
4.0

[b:Treasure Island|417994|Treasure Island|Robert Louis Stevenson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1614613391l/417994._SY75_.jpg|3077988] was a bit deeper than I expected. There was quite a bit of fighting and death but it was a very fun, exciting, and quick read.

Long John Silver was a great character. Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean is a lot like Silver - a witty and extremely slippery survivor that is only out for himself.

I can easily see why this is considered a classic. It has a memorable protagonist in Jim Hawkins who is coming of age, with a great set of pirate villains. Great characters mixed with solid themes of good vs. evil, greed, and travel/adventure you just can’t go wrong.

4 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
