- Thrilling adventure
This is an excellent book. I highly recommend adding it to your classic
collection.
It is great reading for older children or adults. The author makes you
feel you are there, with the salty sea in your face, running for your
life.
The illustrator, Wyeth, one of my favorite artists, compliments the flavor of the adventure.

- Pirates and Gold
I was expecting a little more depth after having read other of Stevenson's works. Jim Hawkins' parents keep an inn, to which the pirate who has possession of a treasure map comes to stay. He is found by his former companions who are greedy for his gold, and he dies of a heart attack soon after. Jim and his mother open the sea chest, taking the gold the pirate owed them for his stay, as well as the treasure map. With other friends, Jim sets out to recover the treasure, for no other reason than that the map is in his possession. Nothing seems too extraordinarily noble about that. Jim discovers that part of the crew have joined with the intention of stealing the gold for themselves, and they have little regard for the lives of others. However, this may not be considered stealing on their part, ... Read More

- -----"YO--HO--HO, AND A BOTTLE OF RUM"-----
In an effort to add a few classics to our reading list, one of the members of my book club chose TREASURE ISLAND for us to read. Coincidently, I had recently visited a cottage, turned museum near Saranack Lake in New York, where Robert Louis Stevenson spent some time right before he wrote TREASURE ISLAND. It was a timely read for me!

I thought that I knew this story, but the years had passed and my memory was not as vivid as I had thought. The story was as fresh to me as a new novel. This is the adventure of young Jim Hawkins who was lucky or unlucky enough to have found himself in possession of a map to Treasure Island. Jim is filled with curiosity and adventure as he sails forth on the ship, the Hispaniola. Jim's friends who are sponsoring the voyage are Squire Trelawney and ... Read More

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

This is a sea-fairing tale of a boy named Jim finding himself entangled on a considerably large pirate adventure. In the beginning of this sea story Jim and his parents ran an inn named the "Admiral Benbow" a shady character that ends up being a pirate walks in and that is how it all started. He soon finds himself part of a crew in the Hispaniola, Captain Smollett runs the crew along with a Mr. Trelawny, and the mysterious one-legged chief Long John Silver. Silver and his crew betray the captain with mutiny, and take over the ship, forcing the doctor, Jim, Mr. Telwany, Mr. Grey, the captain and some loyal sailors to ship out in the smaller boat, the Jolly Boat. Being chased by the Hispaniola, the Jolly Boat quickly takes ashore on Treasure ... Read More

- Best Abridged Edition
I compared this large-format abridged edition (retelling by Timothy Mies, original Wyeth illustrations) to another large-format abridged edition, A Young Reader's Edition of the Classic Adventure, published by Running Press in 2002 (retelling by Steven Zorn, original Wyeth illustrations) and I chose this one. For storytelling I preferred the Zorn version in the other edition because the language was a bit more salty and closer to the flavor of the original, although the Mies retelling in this edition is perfectly acceptable. When it came to the illustrations, however, the quality of reproduction in this edition outshined the other to such a degree that this edition won out. The Wyeth illustrations in this edition are simply electric -- large, colorful and very crisp, while in the other edition ... Read More
