Fun and suspenseful. Great descriptions and use of imagery. I was able to picture things quite vividly. There were maybe too many characters to keep track of, especially since they were all introduced so fast at the beginning. Some characters even made such a brief appearance before dying, and it was a little confusing. Sometimes it was hard to follow what was going on, because I didn’t know the vocabulary of sea equipment mentioned. The ending was different to how I expected, and I like how Long John Silver’s character is portrayed. It really got into the spirit of a pirate adventure novel, with a grey area of morality and exciting moments of betrayal, capture, and attack. There was a bit of racism in the last few pages of the text, but that was probably just a product of its time. Overall, it was worth a read, however I won’t rush to get back to it at all. I don’t feel I need to strongly recommend it to others. If it wasn’t so violent, perhaps I’d read it to my kids one day.
