Treasure Island is dope indeed. I read it on the shore of Lake Superior, and it was exactly the read I needed this summer. Stevenson paints scenes and characters in melodic prose, and the story seems to unfurl on its own. The haphazardness of action and the sympathetic account of every archetypal character makes Treasure Island a stellar adventure novel.

5 stars.
