    Robert Louis Stevenson

    Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson was born on 13 November 1850, changing his second name to ‘Louis’ at the age of eighteen. He has always been loved and admired by countless readers and critics for ‘the excitement, the fierce joy, the delight in strangeness, the pleasure in deep and dark adventures’ found in his classic stories and, without doubt, he created some of the most horribly unforgettable characters in literature and, above all, Mr. Edward Hyde.

      The book draws you in with its immersive atmosphere and storytelling. The characters come to life because of the world building. I feel like I’m on the island.

    • 5/5
      I don’t know how many times I’ve read Treasure Island since childhood but every reread never fails to provide an enjoyable escape. The characters are so richly written and a plot with enough complexity to hold the imagination. It’s a shame that this book is seen as a children’s book, it easily brings its share of treasure for an adult to love!

      The narrator did a great job with this audio version!
    • 4/5
      Pretty good! There were some minor issues with the recording - speaker hesitating before a few chapter numbers, sounds of page turning in the background, weird audio effects to simulate layered singing. But I really liked the distinct voices.

      I’d been wanting to read this ever since I saw the movie Treasure Planet, a childhood favorite. It was really cool to see the source material in action - the plot and characters are very similar. It was a fun high seas drama with a satisfying conclusion, but the thing I missed a lot from this older tome is better representation for women? Call it a relic of the times or what you will, but the only prominent female character was portrayed as “greedy” and “weak” by the main character, so yuck.
    • 5/5
      Great character voices and acting!! It’s captivating drama for sure.
