Emelia answers “Am I the only person who found reading...”

Jannine Smith asked this question about Treasure Island:

Am I the only person who found reading this book difficult? I left it unfinished as it was hard for me to follow - and it shouldn't be the case as it is a short book!!

Emelia I struggled. There's no real reason why, I often struggle with classics, but I read them because I feel I should ever now and then. The writing style …moreI struggled. There's no real reason why, I often struggle with classics, but I read them because I feel I should ever now and then. The writing style and language just doesn't engage my interest very well I think. I stopped following it properly somewhere and suddenly Jim was on land then there's some other person out of thin air or something it seemed. I didn't understand what was going on. Simply because I think I got bored, stopped following it. It took me three days to read because I wasn't glued to it. I had the same issue with Black Beauty. I'm not saying Treasure Island is a bad story, just that it's not for me, I prefer The Muppets Treasure Island, because it was just silly and made me laugh.(less)
