Treasure Island

Stevenson has done a great job in capturing the danger and hardships of living as a pirate, and what it might have been like for a kid in those days. The story does include refrences to alchohol (tho thats expected of pirates!) and a bit of a bloody battle that includes a bullet in the leg. Tho it's not as gruesome as some might think. It is a great read for the family. (PS: The languge used might be difficult for younger audiences to understand)

Super boring, super difficult.

The only reason I read this was bc of bookclub in school. Really difficult to read bc of the pirate talk and stuff. It was also really boring and don't reccommend :) I don't really have an age range I just put 13 bc I lost interest in it.

So I think that 13 and up should read this book because it is kinda confusing because of the pirate talk, drinking, and violence

What Robert Louis Stevenson did was amazing. The novel Treasure Island Is a really good book, I recommend that others read it as it has good storytelling about morals, where to go in life, and if something is right or not. The plot is good it shows a little boy named Jim Hawkins finding his way to a mysterious island called "Treasure Island," when he hears about this island he gathers a crew with Doctor Livesey, Squire, Captain Smollett, and Long John Silver. When they are sailing to the Island however the ship's cook Long John Silver and his crew that he brought along are planning to steal the map and get to Treasure Island themselves. The basic plot summary is a boy finds a map and with a crew sails to the island while bad stuff happens, I enjoy the plot as it brings distrust, betrayal, and drama to what seems to be a regular pirate tale about sailing on the sea. I personally enjoy this book because I love pirates or battles with old-timey weapons but don't take my word for it please do get this book I highly recommend it.

I had to study this book for school. I was not getting much sleep because of the amount of reading I had to do! After a while, it got a little interesting, but still...

There is a ton of violence in this book, the crew are repeatedly mentioned smoking and drinking, and there is a lot of deaths. I generally don't mind old books but this was too violent for my taste. I wouldn't suggest this to kids under 13.

It is has complicated words and a couple cuss words in it as well. I recommend that you listen to Stephen Stanton if you want to be able to understand it.

Honestly, im not a random hater troll. The book is very intresting and has alot of action which is good if you want to get your kid into reading, but I have to say if they dont have a real grasp on rasicm or if your not ready to have that talk with them steer away. I was very suprised with the books ratings. " great my kids loved it" im very confused about the no vulgar language either as if they arnt dipicting others in dehumanizing ways I picked up the book in a bjs just for fun to end with a not so good feeling. Think of it this way you are basically unwillingly giving your child a fast track to rasicm. a great book but if you want your child to read it you better have a talk ready for them after it. honestly as a 14 year old girl I sure will need one. ( and the grammar is terribel because my computer is abotu to fie so forgive me :) )

It takes a while to get into the action, but after the first 5 or 6 chapters, it gets really interesting and full of adventure. Also, the words are a little old fasioned, so it would be good to listen to it on audio book, which I did. There is some violence, however, so that's why you shouldn't read it when you are younger than 11 or 12. But I absolutely loved this page turner!
