Book Synopsis

An Apple Books Classic edition.

When Billy Bones first walks into Jim Hawkins’ family-run inn, the prevailing sentiments are fear…and curiosity about what’s in his oversized chest. After a band of rogue pirates comes looking for him, Billy dies, leaving Jim and his mother in possession of his belongings, which contain a map leading to the treasure of the dreaded Captain Flint.

Robert Louis Stevenson’s swashbuckling adventure story plays out on the high seas-and it’s packed to the gills with heart-pounding suspense, double crosses, mutiny, mayhem, and even murder. First published as a magazine serial in the 1880s, Treasure Island set the standard for action-adventure thrillers. Hop in and prepare for a wild ride, complete with peg-legged pirates and their trusted parrots, casks of rum, tropical islands, and X marks the spot!

    A very adventurous read, and I was pleased with the characters and storyline and ending. However, I will say that the verbiage and wording used threw me off a lot and many times I had a hard time understanding what was being written. It’s a great story but for that reason I was confused a lot.

    While not quite mindblowing, this book tells of an exciting adventure and is worth a read. I would compare it to "The Land that Time Forgot."

    The sailers tried the hardest to collect all the collection laid behind. They received a substantial amount. A large portion of the items remained in their storage. A reclaiming fate was bound for the future of new sailers. A challenging and results of the first set of retrievers made a wonderful result in the collection. It is encouraging to believe a future group of sailers will accomplish the results. Wishing is a valuable and supportive response for future attempts and the results.
