Simply a fun book. I think that the end seems a bit cut off...it is not a satisfying ending to an otherwise great story. If it were written in modern days, one would suspect Stevenson had plans for a sequel since he left Long John Silvers mysteriously unaccounted for, as well as the three marooned on the Treasure Island.
