Eh, Treasure Island was okay at most. I certainly liked it more as a kid. Actually it took me like two days to read the last 30 pages and that says something. Maybe because I was already familiar with the plot, or the Long John Silver twist, or with Ben Gunn and the fate of the treasure, once the action moved to the Skeleton Island, things got a bit boring for me.
