A review by dirk_bannion_author
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

4.0

What can I possibly say about Treasure Island that hasn't already been said?

It's a classic of the action/adventure genre, written back before there was such a thing as "genre". It's a rip-roaring read from back before "rip-roaring" was an acceptable adjective. It's one of the first books I specifically remember reading, loving and re-reading just for the sheer joy of it. And I'm proud to have passed it along to my own kids too.

Bravo, Mr. Stevenson.
