A review by zbmorgan
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
4.0
Underrated by modern times and usually pushed on boys, this fabulous adventure features a smart young hero, a VERY complex villain, and a lot of detail about the sailing life. It should come as no surprise this is incredibly well-written with good characters - it's by the same person who wrote Jekyll and Hyde, and Long John Silver has just as much psychological fodder for those who want to delve into what makes a fictional character tic.
Also, this is the basis for ALL pirates ever - done before Peter Pan (although Stevenson and Barrie were friends and correspondents) and certainly no pirate story would be the same without the framework here.
