classictj 's review for:

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
5.0

What a great classic and presented in an entertaining way. I read this book several times over the years but this 'version' was both fresh and new to the adventure. The main character, Jim, has complicated relationships between the captain, the doctor, and long John Silver. Its interesting to see how he maintains his character among such men.

I highly recommend the classics to everyone and this is probably one of the easiest ones to get through. Understanding each character and their social economic status still holds true today. People are always blinded by greed and maintaining your character will be challenging even for the best of us.
