I read the "Jr." version of this as a kid and enjoyed it again as a 40 year old... I'm looking forward to reading this, a chapter a night, to my son & daughter when they're a little older. ( )

Obviously a great story. Fantastic illustrations by John Lawrence. The printing of this book is quite poor; the richness of the original images-that I saw in the gallery from where I purchased the book-had much more life. The blackness of the prints should be much darker than the washed out versions. I would have rather paid more for a well printed book and to have seen the illustrations match the originals. That said, I bought it and enjoyed it. Apart from the printing, the book is well designed and set.

One of my favorite books of all time. This is the standard in adventure novels and for good reason. Every young boy and girl should read this book. ( )

The shortest form of this book which I have ever read. The classic story about pirates, treasures on an uninhabited island, adventures. The first time I read this story I was 10, right now I've gone back to this book to improve my English, but I prefer the whole story, so I hope- I'll read it soon. ( )

Pure classic. ( )
