Here we are, the beginning of another month, the beginning of another book. Here we will discuss any questions, comments, concerns from chapters one through six (part 1). Happy reading!

Hello! :) So, I've just finished part one of Treasure Island, and I'm really loving it. Kind of irritated with myself for not picking it up sooner.

So, one thing I've noticed while reading this part is that there seems to be a few recurrent themes of pride, greed, and even one or two incidences of gluttony. For example, there's a lot of talk of money, and getting and keeping money, and there's a lot of incidences where a character does something rather stupid simply because they don't want to be viewed as a coward. Some I'm wondering if a Seven Deadly Sins theme might develop throughout this book. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I just overthinking things?

Hope you're all enjoying it.

Happy reading! :)
