A review by trin
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

3.0

Impressive how many of our classic pirate tropes originate here. Long John Silver is also truly such A Character, an OG blorbo, Stevenson's problematic fave -- you can tell how much fun he's having writing him. But my favorite part of the book, as it has been since childhood, is still the opening at the Hawkins family inn with Billy Bones and the Black Spot. Brr! Nothing brings the good creepy-chillies quite so much as that.
