Reviews
When it comes to adventure tales, this is a great one. So many of the things we associate with pirates stem from this: peg legs, talking parrots, treasure maps with Xs that mark the spot. I enjoyed Jim Hawkins nonstop adventures as well as the strategies many characters—Jim, Long John Silver, Dr. Livesey, Captain Smollett—have to employ to save their own or their friends' lives.
