Quintessential pirate adventure story. Was quite pleased to find that this classic was indeed an enjoyable tale. I'm often disappointed by books that are considered classics, and was pleased to find this wasn't one. While some of the book has not aged well there was surprising little of this.
The writing is a bit dry, but over all a tale of adventure, betrayal, and treasure. I think if I didn't already know how things where to play out in detail I would have been more invested but as it was still enjoyed this book.
