Unfortunately, haven't had the cause to pick it up now that I'm a little more "grown up", but I liked how you talked about the relationship of good and evil. That really wouldn't have occurred to the 12-year-old me, so I think you've convinced me to pick it up pronto.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331403748871569013.post-6462781261988573622010-09-18T23:24:38.645-05:002010-09-18T23:24:38.645-05:00I haven't read this in years either, but I rem...I haven't read this in years either, but I remember it like I had read it yesterday. My grandmother (long dead now) gave me a beautiful illustrated hard-back edition that I read about twenty-five times in a row. I think my parents had to finally encourage me to read something else. I still have that edition sitting proudly on my shelves now.<br /><br />If you like Stevenson, I encourage you to check out Sir Walter Scott (<i>Ivanhoe</i>, <i>Waverly</i>, and his long poem <i>The Lady of the Lake</i>), and R.D. Blackmore (<i>Lorna Doone</i>). Happy reading! Cheers!

I'm intrigued to hear Treasure Island is more than just an adventure tale (which I always assumed). I'll probably check out J&H first because it seems closer to my taste and I already have it.<br /><br />Thanks for the review!Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331403748871569013.post-36474235282634708562010-09-17T12:14:59.978-05:002010-09-17T12:14:59.978-05:00I've read this book before I was 12 and I stil...I've read this book before I was 12 and I still remember it, that's how much of an impression it made on me.
