In fairness to this review, I last read Treasure Island in the fifth grade. So this review is tempered by more than two decades of nostalgia. But i remember truly enjoying the book, and I remember not being troubled or bogged down by the language- which was not always the case with classics (time has not been kind to Dickens in my opinion). The book was considered the advanced novel for my fifth grade class, so that may be relevant. But the book remains, along with "Call it Courage" one of my favorite books from my elementary reading lists.
