Treasure Island
Robert Louis Stevenson · ★★★☆☆ · 352 pages · 1882
I attempted to read this book when I was ten and got no more than 40 pages in before it became difficult for me to get through because of my difficulty to read the 19th century english. But I finally read it again and it was still a slog to get through. I mean the first 40 pages and the last 40 pages are good but the middle was a bit of a drag. Overall a good story of adventure which can no longer be possible. Not much to say other than it is a classic for a reason and most modern day costumes of pirates take after Long John.
