			How did I miss this classic when I was a kid? Treasure Island has everything a good adventure  needs: flawed adults, swashbuckling pirates, duplicitous villains, buried treasure and a talking parrot. Not to mention a plot twisted enough to engage an adult.

			Really kept me engaged throughout, but when I got to the end, I felt like it was a bit heavy handed. And really, not all that shocking or that much of a surprise. Good plot, good pacing, but the characterization left a lot to be desired. I really didn't care all that much about anybody in the book.
