A review by watermelonprose
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

4.0

First off, I must say that this book was so hard to read out loud. Obviously it was written quite a while ago so there is grammar and words used that are just not used anymore in modern books. The story was very different from the adaptations I have seen on the screens and that was a pleasant suprise. I think a child would find this book hard to understand, because there were a lot of sentences I was struggling to piece together. Another thing I noticed is that this book is very rascist, saying things about other races that is just not acceptable anymore. All in all though there is a reason why Treasure Island is a classic and although it's age shows, the magic of the story has not been lost.
