wisalOverall I enjoyed the book. I loved the way the story was told, Stevenson has such an amazing narrative voice in this novel, and it was written so wonderfully, I found it hard at times to believe it was meant for children. There was such a clear voice throughout the novel, the storytelling was wonderful and elegant, everything love in an old classic book! Which was what kept me reading the book, as I found that the story wasn’t as interesting at I had hoped it would be. The idea behind the story was an interesting one, but I think it fell short of my expectations. I’m not sure exactly what I was hoping for, but the story wasn’t exactly what I expected, it wasn’t as adventured filled as I thought it would be, and it was slow paced for me at times. Although the storytelling ability by Stevenson certainly made up for that, there were times, I was bored. I found my self flip-flopping on whether I liked David as a character, I found him to be a bit inconsistent at times, but I did enjoy his adventure and the book overall.
