What can be said that hasnt been said already? It's a classic adventure of buccaneers and buried gold. And a perfect book for an afternoon.
This book contains everything you could expect from a story like this. Although this is one of the well-known classics, I had not read it yet. I am very happy that I have done so now.
The story follows Jim Hawkins who lives with his mother in the “Admiral Benbow” inn in a seaside town. When pirate Bill, who is a client at the inn, leaves a treasure map after his death, Jim sets off on an adventure to find the treasure. It is written in short chapters and after each chapter you want to know what Stevenson has in store for Hawkins and co. Because of the interesting story and the short chapters I read this fairly quickly.
If you have not yet become acquainted with this classic, it is highly recommended.
