11 posts | 5 read | 10 to read
This ebook includes a copy of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island! A rip-roaring sequel to Treasure IslandRobert Louis Stevensons beloved classicabout two young friends and their high-seas adventure with dangerous pirates and long-lost treasure. It's almost forty years after the events of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island: Jim Hawkins now runs an inn called the Hispaniola on the English coast with his son, Jim, and Long John Silver has returned to England to live in obscurity with his daughter, Natty. Their lives are quiet and unremarkable; their adventures have seemingly ended. But for Jim and Natty, the adventure is just beginning. One night, Natty approaches young Jim with a proposition: return to Treasure Island and find the remaining treasure that their fathers left behind so many years before. As Jim and Natty set sail in their fathers' footsteps, they quickly learn that this journey will not be easy. Immediately, they come up against murderous pirates, long-held grudges, and greed and deception lurking in every corner. And when they arrive on Treasure Island, they find terrible scenes awaiting themdifficulties which require all their wit as well as their courage. Nor does the adventure end there, since they have to sail homeward again... Andrew Motions sequelrollicking, heartfelt, and utterly brilliantwould make Robert Louis Stevenson proud.

Pickpick

I finally got through the sequel to one of my favorite books ever. Andrew Motion did a great job capturing the feel of Treasure Island. It was well written, and the main characters really grew throughout the story. David Tennant did a fantastic job narrating this book. He does a great myna bird voice! This was shaping up to be a 5 star pick until the last 2 chapters. I really, REALLY didn't like how he finished the book.

TheAromaofBooks Gah! I hate it when a great read goes off the rails at the last minute! 5y

I held back at the library sale today. Still got a good haul! And even better, my sister gave me money on my way there as a belated birthday present so I basically got a bunch of free books. :p

I don't know. 🎶'Is it beautiful because David is reading it too me or is it really as beautiful as I see?'🎶

It made me reflect that in becoming wicked he had become himself, which I took to be a dreadful possibility.

Mehso-so

Eh. It wasn't great. But it was David Tennant narrating, so it gets pushed up half a star for that. 😉 Now I'll go back to listening to the How to Train Your Dragon series that he narrates.

Blaming @sprainedbrain for this one. But who doesn't want to listen to a pirate story narrated by David Tennant? #blameLitsy #Audible #DailyDeal

Something I found interesting: David Tennant is Scottish, but typically uses an English accent when acting. He uses that same English accent when narrating this book. Perhaps the powers-that-be were worried that Americans wouldn't understand him? Not that I'm complaining... 😉 *swoon*

sprainedbrain I love his English accent just fine, but when he speaks with his Scottish accent I cannot even deal. 😍😍😍😍😂 8y
mom2bugnbee @sprainedbrain I have NOOOOOOOOOOO idea what you're talking about. 😉 😉 😉 *thunk* 8y
booksandsympathy Agree with @sprainedbrain . His Scottish accent is just too much for me to handle. Lol. 8y
melrailey I almost bought this today just because he reads it. I've been slowly listening to the How to Train Your Dragon books. He uses his Scottish accent there and they are so good. I love listening to him. 8y
mom2bugnbee @melrailey I just put the first one on my library hold list! I've never read them! #blameLitsy 8y

Sharing today's Audible Daily Deal, which may appeal to my fellow pirate enthusiasts. It has fairly mediocre ratings on GR and on Audible, but look at that narrator! 😍

tricours Can't be sold in my country due to copyright restrictions, like every other Daily Deal lately... 8y
sprainedbrain @tricours oh, bummer. Do you have Playster available in your country? I noticed they have it as well. 8y
tricours Never heard of it, but it may be worth checking out! 8y

sprainedbrain @tricours I like it for audiobooks... great selection for the monthly price. 👍 8y
Joanne1 Book doesn't appeal at all but I think I'd listen to listen to David Tennant read the phone book. (edited) 8y
DGRachel I'm with @Joanne1! Sorely tempted just for the narrator! 😍😍😍 8y
sprainedbrain @Joanne1 @DGRachel Same here... I listened to the sample twice. 😂 8y
Gina David Tennant!!! ♡♡♡ 8y
mom2bugnbee Yeeaaaaaahhhhh... Who cares about the story with Tennant? #blameLitsy 8y
CrowCAH It still looks pretty good, so I added it to the TBR, and I love Treasure Island, so it will be neat to see what someone thought up for Jim's life! And the narrator is awesome!!! 8y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Totally got this for Tennant. (edited) 8y
faelinwolf All the How to Train Your Dragons books by Cressida Cowell are narrated by David Tennant! Yes, children's books, but so much fun & David Tennant! 8y
