| 1. Treasure Island (Classics Illustrated) | 
|
By: Robert Louis Stevenson, Pat Boyette
Publisher: Berkley Publishing Group
1991-01
This book is one of the "Classics". It is a swashbuckling tale, full of incidents/adventures that will enchant a young reader. I purchased it for the N.C. Wyeth illustrations ( I am an artist , a grand niece of Charles Woodbury who founded the Ogunquit School of Art) with which I am very familiar. Born and raised in Maine, I enjoy ALL the Wyeth works, and own an original N.C Wyeth print. My husband... more

February 01, 2008
I've no idea why the Japanese version seems to be the edition getting all the reviews, but I got the English version.
After getting the first book and reading it in a few hours, I immediately went to the store to get myself the second installment. I did enjoy this book, but I'm not giving it five stars as I did with the other simply because I found Greg to be a much less sympathetic character... more

Eleven-year-old Greg Heffley knows he's going places. unfortunately, to get there he has to pass through middle school--that cruel, no man's land where everyone is mashed together irrespective of maturity. What diabolical mind created this strange limbo where kids who haven't had their growth spurt mingle daily with giants who shave twice a day?
