Pi reviewed Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
Review of 'Treasure Island' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
pues es un libro, sí. está bien, pero no tiene nada especialmente destacable para mí (aunque John Silver me parece un personaje interesante)
Treasure Island (originally titled The Sea Cook: A Story for Boys) is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, telling a story of "buccaneers and buried gold". It is considered a coming-of-age story and is noted for its atmosphere, characters, and action. The novel was originally serialised from 1881 to 1882 in the children's magazine Young Folks, under the title Treasure Island or the Mutiny of the Hispaniola, credited to the pseudonym "Captain George North". It was first published as a book on 14 November 1883 by Cassell & Co.. It has since become one of the most often dramatized and adapted of all novels, in numerous media. Since its publication, Treasure Island has had significant influence on depictions of pirates in popular culture, including such elements as deserted tropical islands, treasure maps marked with an "X", and one-legged seamen with parrots perched on their shoulders.

I had no idea that Long John Silver was anything but seafood, fast food style. Shiver me timbers! This would have been a more enjoyable read for me thirty years ago, I think, but still, it was interesting. Stevenson did do his homework.
