One of the best-loved adventure stories ever written, Treasure Island's timeless tale of pirates, lost treasure maps, mutiny and derring-do has appealed to generations of readers ever since Robert Louis Stevenson penned it in 1881 with the claim: If this don't fetch the kids, why, they have gone rotten since my day. But more than just a children's classic, the novel is considered to be one of the greatest feats of storytelling in the English language, with characters such as the unforgettable Long John Silver becoming part of the cultural consciousness. Treasure Island is a coming-of-age story that will captivate both adults and children for as long as stories are told. Review: Great read - This book was required reading for my sons 9th grade English class. He really loved this book and told be that everybody in the class enjoyed it too.

Good book, hard to hold open
Not a review of the book, which was good, but the printing of this edition. Nice text and illustrations beginning each chapter, but the binding is too tight so it takes more effort than it shouldn’t to hold this book pen while reading.

Genial
Es exactamente el libro de la isla del tesoro en inglés. Me descargué el audiolibro y ahora puedo seguirlo más fácilmente buscando las palabras que no entiendo. Además me encanta. Al final incluye alguna cosa como biografia, personajes, glosario y test.

Anspruchsvolles English
Irgendwie interessant. Da liest man viele englischsprachigen Bücher und denkt sich, man nimmt die Schatzinsel als leichte Kindheitserinnerung mal eben mit und stellt dann fest, dass es ganz schön tricky ist. Man muss sich wirklich konzentrieren, um die alte Sprache und die Seemannsbegriffe richtig zu verstehen und zusammenzusetzen. Trotzdem lohnt es sich zu lesen und ist eigentlich ein Muss.

An all time classic. This was bought as a present for a young boy. I have read it few times. Excellent adventure story by a master story teller.
