Treasure Island – Robert Louis Stevenson
February 3, 2010What struck me most about this novel was how authentic it felt. Great dialog and great use of sea-faring terminology of the era.
The story is pure adventure and taps into every young child’s dream of leaving their humdrum life for mystery and action in exotic locales. It reminded me very much of one of my favorite books of all time: Captains Courageous by Rudyard Kipling. They don’t make them like that anymore. But if I am wrong, please let me know.
