A mysterious seaman hides at a country inn; cut-throats raid a sleepy English village; suddenly, young Jim Hawkins becomes the owner of a map leading to a lost tropical island and a fortune in stolen gold. Three adventures--Jim, Squire Trelawney, and Dr. Livesey--set out to find the treasure.
But they trust the one they should most fear, Long John Silver. Charming, brave ruthless, murderous, Silver fills the squire's ship with pirates. And on the desolate, fever-infested island, the quest for gold becomes a deadly war of hide and seek. Desperate defenders against merciless killers battling over a cursed treasure won with blood, buried with blood, sought with blood. Incredible wealth that Jim and his friends can only claim...

Climb aboard for the swashbuckling adventure of a lifetime. Treasure Islandhas enthralled (and caused slight seasickness) for decades. The names Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins are destined to remain pieces of folklore for as long as children want to read Robert Louis Stevenson's most famous book. With it's dastardly plot and motley crew of rogues and villains, it seems unlikely that children will ever say no to this timeless classic.

From School Library Journal
Gr 7 Up-The archetypal sea-faring adventure story is given another rousing and dramatic rendition in this quickly paced abridged entry in Hodder's top-flight Classic Collection series. The critical plot and subplot threads have been beautifully retained, and all the classic lines like "shiver me timbers" have been included. Stalwart English actor Richard Griffiths handles the bulk of the narrative chores flawlessly and is particularly effective in his pacing. He is capably assisted by Gareth Armstrong who, inexplicably, is uncredited on the cassette case. The subtle use of occasional sound effects such as gulls, lapping waves, and cannon and gunshot enhances this superb version of Stevenson's masterpiece. All collections should make room for this fine work.

读后感
因为以后要看书了，正好当时看过这本书的电影，所以打算看看。 电影还不错，书会不会有不同呢？管他了，看看吧。 这本书其实我预料的差不多。我觉得他去找宝藏的原因还有有点令人迷惑的。 我印象最深的地方是西尔弗放过了吉姆，其实他是想既不上绞刑架，又拿走宝藏。这样一个十...
评分暴力对谁而言都是很糟糕的；权力不是绝对和永久的；人与人之间是平等的；要有理性。 这些是与勇于探索、打开眼界和心胸同样重要的事，我希望每个孩子从小就能懂得。 还有诚信。 诚信是文明的一部分，没有诚信，协商则毫无意义，世界将会变成最野蛮粗暴的样子。 摘自：《金银岛...
评分在Chapter 21 《The Attack》里有这么一句话： This is as dull as the doldrums. Gray, whistle for a wind. 翻译过来就是“闷得跟赤道无风带一样，Gray，吹个口哨来点风吧！”《庄子》说“大块噫气，其名为风”，产生的原理虽然一样，但吹口哨的人和大地相比，实在不...
