Treasure Island

The story is told by Jim Hawkins himself, whose mother kept the Admiral Benbow Inn. An old sea dog comes to this peaceful inn one day, apparently intending to finish his life there. He hires Jim to keep a watch out for other sailors, although it is dangerous, he is still served with the dangerous place. Jim and his mother barely escape death when Blind Pew, Black Dog, and other pirates were trying to search for the sea dog’s papers. Jim grabbed up a packet of papers to pay up the sailor’s debt when they were forced to leave the inn. The packet contains a map showing the location of the pirate Flint’s buried treasure, which Jim, Doctor Livesey, and Squire Trelawney wanted to find. After they find a ship, they hire people and set out on their adventure. Unfortunately, their crew includes one-legged Long John Silver, a pirate also in search of the treasure, and a number of his crew member too. Jim, hidden in an apple barrel, heard the plan of the crew to betray them. The battle between the pirates and Jim’s party is an exciting and bloody one, taking place both on the island and aboard ship. Later, Jim escapes from the ship, discovers the marooned sailor, Ben Gunn, who has already found the treasure, and finally they get safely aboard the ship with the treasure.

The story is excellent. The adventures of Jim Hawkins are filled with suspense. This is one of the best books I have ever read. The characters are realistic, they are so skillfully portrayed. Every time I start this book again, the excitement comes over me, and I think "This is the best book in the world!" Although it took a long time to get through the first couple of chapter's, I would recommend this book to people who like pirates and adventure stories. This is a fantastic tale of bravery and heroism. I don't know how things would have turned out if it hadn't been for Jim Hawkins. At the end, the main

character, Jim becomes a loyal and responsible person.
