Hello ladies,
I finished Treasure Island a few weeks ago and am just posting now, in hopes that some bit of brilliance would strike me and I'd present some deep, philosophical prose for the enlightenment of the group.
Nope.
It's a nice story, a good hero story. Meant for young boys (the only woman who speaks is the mother who is relegated to the home with no choice over whether or not her son goes to a malaria-infested island), it's fairly shallow. I did have to look up a few nautical terms, but otherwise, found it to be a nice change of pace from the depressing news articles I typically read.
What say you?
