Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson

Character: ★★★☆☆
Setting: ★★★☆☆
Plot: ★★★☆☆
Overall: ★★☆☆☆

Summary: This novel is based around a boy, Jim Hawkins, who goes on an adventure with people, many of whom he later discovers are pirates. The book is mostly set on an island, and there is a kind or 'war' between the group of pirates and other English men who brought the pirates to the island unknowingly. In the end, they find out that the treasure is gone, and many people die. Jim, the captain and some other men finally return to England empty handed.

This book was good, however i somehow did not find it as extremely gripping as i expected. Jim was a pretty confusing character, and even though he was the protagonist, i did not sympathize with him very much. That kind of ruined my appreciation of the book, but the fighting scenes were exciting.
