I don’t know what I can say that hasn’t already been said. Everyone know the story of Long John Silver and the treasure. This was better than I expected. I don’t normally read books from the male perspective but this has lot’s of action. It was a fun read.

Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!

Couldn't stop picturing Muppet Treasure Island the entire time.

I read this with my 9 year old. The story is classic but the language can be hard at parts

Lo leí con 12 años y me marcó un antes y un después en mi amor por la lectura. Lo estoy releyendo porque necesito otra vez ese empujón que este libró me dio hace años.

En esta edicion la traducción se me ha hecho un poco rara, pero las ilustraciones son muy chulas y es mi libro favortio desde pequeña

Before reading this, my only knowledge of the plot came from remembering the bits and pieces of the movie "Muppet Treasure Island". :) I knew there was a black spot, a young boy and some buried treasure.

Almost every time I finish a classic, I say to myself "Wow. That was really good! No wonder it's called a classic!" Yet, I am wary of picking up classics...maybe I have classic-book-anxiety? Maybe it's the small font that are in 99% of these books?

The beginning was a bit slow for me, but after Jim overhears the mutinous plans with Silver, it peaked my interest from there on out. I enjoyed the switching of the characters from Jim to the Dr's point of view and that surprised me...

The ending really got me! I thought a particular character would die and when he just 'escaped' it was kind of a let-down. Maybe Stevenson wanted to do a sequel?
