Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

The text is about the life and times of this horrible man and his ship the ‘Hispanola’. The thing about this book is its charm, simple but unique and a very good story to follow. To my mind, the sea faring life of those days was bad and many people were killed on the high seas. The things I don’t like about the book was the intent to kill, if anything, and walking the plank, keel hauling and fighting with cutlass and the knife and the deadly hook of Long John Silver.

The book should be recommended for all ages right across the spectrum because it is an adventure story and a thriller.

At the end of all this, there was a clear message for all people. Somehow, we all have a little bit of Long John Silver in us.
