Treasure Island couldn’t be closer to the stereotypical pirate story. Published in 1883 it has everything pirates from desert islands to buried treasure, parrots to jolly rogers. The story is narrated by a young cabin boy Jim, who embarks on the typical quest to find some buried treasure. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it either. You could quite easily tell what the outcome of the story was going to be as well. Stevenson’s pirate story is a universal classic, but in my opinion really wasn’t anything special.
