Treasure Island

I can see why it's a classic must read, but it also took a bit to finish; a mixture of the book being written as to seem older than it is, being written in the late 1800's, and certain bits written to sound “pirate” means it is quite difficult to follow a little too often.

All in all it's a good read and would certainly suggest anyone who enjoys pirates / pirate stories to dig in and persevere with the writing. Ideally I'd have read it on a kindle to be able to look up words faster but nothing beats a real book, especially the lovely edition I have of this one!
