Review of Treasure Island
Title: Treasure Island
Author: Robert Louis Stevenson
The book starts off with a depiction of an old seaman going down to stay in the inn of the possession of the author's father, The Admiral Benbow, and the trouble and excitement he brings. Not long after, the old seaman and the author's father die of overdose of rum and disease respectively. It is later discovered that pirates hunting him and causing trouble at the inn were looking for a treasure map in possession of the old seaman, later identified as Billy Bones.
The author, a doctor and magistrate, and a squire decide to go on a voyage in search of the treasure depicted on the map, later discovered to have contained directions as to where the treasure of the most notorious pirate known at sea is hidden. One of the crew members, Long John Silver, who helped in the choosing of other crew members, was found to be the ringleader of a mutiny. The author, doctor, squire and a few other faithful hands work together to overcome all odds, and they got the treasure at last.
This classic is very intriguing andI recommend it for people of all ages.

What's up Rui Hang? Just wanted to tell you a little something. You should elaborate more on why you recommend others to read it. Like for example why is it intriguing. The two lines don't appeal to me to read the book. Work hard!

I'm sorry but your blog posts are hard to read, although your blogskin is nice. However, I think that your book review is a bit too short. The length of what you have written of the book are not interesting me in any way.
