I read this book in a week.
The funny thing about this story is that I have always wanted to read it. I've tried on several occasions. It has been recommended to me from family and friends. But I didn't care much to get through it until recently. I stumbled upon a list of 100 books that every man should have in their library.
It was a good story. I remember seeing the Walt Disney version about 20 years ago. It helped me follow the characters and understand the language better.
The book was written by Robert Louis Stevenson and was first published in 1883. The language reflects the time, but after a couple chapters it gets easier to understand.
the best part of the story is that of Jim Hawkins the protagonist. In the beginning of the story he is young and full of fear, living under the protection of his mother. As the story develops Jim becomes a man and faces his fears head on. He matures as the story is told and you can see it in his deductions and reasoning.
This is a great story for middle aged children that are on the presipice of discovering who they are. But at the same time this story is a great read for anyone who needs a reminder about growing up and doing the right thing. The morals in the book are a great reminder of days when men respected each other in battle. It was eye opening and refreshing.
There are no referencs to sexual activity or immorality in any sexual manner. The language is clean, alot of "shiver me timbers" and such. The violence is reasonable, no gore or unnecessary descriptions in the death of characters.
I reccomend this book. It was nice to read. Not life changing.
