Book came in a torn condition
The content and plot of the book is obviously amazing but the book I recieved is torn from corners and pages were folded inside which is not appreciated.Deducted 2 stars for the condition of the book.

A good Classic Book for everyone out there!
A honest review: This book is one of the all time classic books. They are evergreen. I rate it for four stars because, some difficulties that I found when reading is that it has more native phrases which mkes it difficult to understand a bit. The story is good I like it if it had more actions though. Anyway, you can go for it..

Cannot say not how good this is. The adventure comes alive. Better than any of the movies. We need more classics like this.

5 stars & 5/10 hearts. I’ve wanted to read this classic for years but always was a little wary because it was about pirates. I needn’t have worried.In the first place, MAJOR RESPECT to Stevenson for the way he made his pirates perfectly real and yet kept the book so clean. As far as I can recall, there is BARELY ANY LANGUAGE in this, and only very mild things like “deuce to pay,” which I’m not exactly sure is language. Furthermore, all the bad deeds and things of the pirates is very veiled and just hinted at or briefly mentioned, and yet he contrives to make them quite terrifying.Second, although the violence does exist, its quite toned down. Murder and fighting is quite prevalent, but honestly the only really disturbing thing is when a man is accidentally trampled by a horse. All the rest was really laid-back and so matter-of-fact that I found it completely cool. I wasn’t even very anxious for anyone, just really intensely curious how things would turn out.Third, the characters were very real and alive. There was Jim, who was a sympathetic figure, although sometimes he seemed to get out of things much too easily. There was the Doctor, who was really quite wise and humorous and brave (although he could also be rather harsh!). The Squire, although sometimes he was an idiot, was at least a brave, good man and a great companion. The Captain was hands-down my favourite, good and brave and humorous and smart (although why on earth wasn’t he a good shot?). Jim’s mother was nice, although she bugged me at times.And then there were the pirates. Long John was VERY hard to make your mind up about. He was such a great guy, and such a terrible villain. I couldn’t help being glad at the ending though. 😉 Israel Hands was really hateful. George and Dick and the other guys were mostly humorous additions.And finally, the plot. Highly unrealistic, and yet completely intriguing; fast-paced, and yet relaxing; serious, and yet very humorous. I also loved the themes of courage, loyalty, and doing right.Overall, it was a fun, light, quick, enjoyable read! I think boys would probably like it a lot.A Favourite Quote: “As for the scheme I had in my head, it was not a bad one in itself…; a thing quite worth doing, as I still believe. But as I was certain I should not be allowed to leave the enclosure, my only plan was to take French leave and slip out when nobody was watching, and that was so bad a way of doing it as made the thing itself wrong.”A Favourite Humorous Quote: “Well, George, how goes it? You’re a pretty colour, certainly; why, your liver, man, is upside down. Did you take that medicine? Did he take that medicine, men?”“Aye, aye, sir, he took it, sure enough,” returned Morgan.“Because, you see, since I am mutineers’ doctor, or prison doctor as I prefer to call it,” says Doctor Livesey in his pleasantest way, “I make it a point of honour not to lose a man for King George (God bless him!) and the gallows.”The rogues looked at each other but swallowed the home-thrust in silence. “Dick don’t feel well, sir,” said one.“Don’t he?” replied the doctor. “Well, step up here, Dick, and let me see your tongue. No, I should be surprised if he did! The man’s tongue is fit to frighten the French. Another fever.”“Ah, there,” said Morgan, “that comed of sp’iling Bibles.”“That comes—as you call it—of being arrant asses,” retorted the doctor, “and not having sense enough to know honest air from poison, and the dry land from a vile, pestiferous slough. I think it most probable—though of course it’s only an opinion—that you’ll all have … to pay before you get that malaria out of your systems. Camp in a bog, would you? Silver, I’m surprised at you. You’re less of a fool than many, take you all round; but you don’t appear to me to have the rudiments of a notion of the rules of health.”
