Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
5.0
One of my favourite classic novels.
Although a book purely based around pirates seeking treasure wont be to everyone's liking it is one of my favourites. I really like the style of writing and the beginning of the book at the Admiral Benbow Inn is a strong start and a great set up.
Once they get to the Island I don't feel the story is as strong as the start as we don't see most of the Island and what it may offer. Its quite a quick part of the book which could have been developed a little more so we have more exploring and surprises. Having said that, it still remains a great adventure novel, one that most people know even if they haven't physically read the book.
