“Re-read this as I hadn't read it since I was a child - forgotten what a good read it is - it's encouraged me to re-read more of the classic adventure stories.”

“One of the best classics ever written. Jim Hawkins tells the story in a very exciting way. There was suspense all the way to the end. A pleasure to read.”

A lot of my reading was colored by the number of times I've seen various film adaptations of the story, and I must say I was impressed that no film version I have ever seen accurately represents the entire story. One will get these things right, another will get those things right, and all of them will miss out on this tidbit, or that one. But I liked the book a great deal.
It doesn't get five stars for... some reason or another. I don't quite remember. My brain is a little frazzled right now, for personal reasons; perhaps I will amend this review later if I think of more details.”
