The first half of this book depends heavily on it's plot twist which we all already know. So that's a bummer. If only Robert Louis Stevenson had know how huge this book was going to be. It actually would have been pretty cool to be in on it from the beginning. But for the first half you're like yeah, yeah, I already know what's going on. There's no suspense. You're not confused like the characters are. And then the plot twist comes and it's still not particularly good.
