Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
4.0
A summary of Treasure Island:
Everyone: DON’T TRUST THE MAN WITH ONE LEG!
*man with one leg shows up*
Everyone: This man is the best man I have ever met. He is so good. He is so charming. He can’t possibly be the same man missing a leg we were told not to trust. They are two different people!
*man with one leg - unsurprisingly - turns out to be the same man*
Everyone: Well how did we miss that!
What can I say except I love pirates and Stevenson is the man who created our modern impression of them. Long John Silver has a secret story to tell and I wished the novel was about him rather than Jim! The beginning is very intriguing! There are some slow points when we swap POV.
If you’re a fan of the pirate genre you have to read this once in your life.
Also go watch Black Sails, it’s a prequel about Long John Silver, Captain Flint, and several historical pirates of the 18th century (Anne Bonny, Calico Jack, Charles Vane).
