Treasure Island is a Treasure

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

Jim Hawkins finds a treasure map in the breastpocket of a dead pirate. Soon a ship and crew is gathered and they set sail to find the treasure. Trouble arises when the one-legged cook (Long John Silver) organizes a mutiny.

This is a really famous book, so I thought it was about time to read it. If you have not, you should jump on this one, because I believe this book is the base of all pirate fiction.

It was a tad difficult to get into this book, due to the language and mood (gloomy). After all, it was written in the 19th century. But nevertheless, if you challenge yourself with this book, you will enjoy the intense adventure.

Let me know what you guys think and how this book compares to other pirate fiction!
