Books by Robert Louis Stevenson
Treasure Island
by Robert Louis Stevenson
· published 1879 · read 2004-07-01
★★★★☆
The one and only classic pirate adventure. Much better than I would have thought, given that famous and classic stories often were good at the time and then remained unreasonably popular. But no, Treasure Island got to me. To be fair, I was a eleven year old boy, so it was written for me with little way to fail, but still: I couldn't put this book down.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
by Robert Louis Stevenson
· published 1886 · read 2017-07-19
★★★☆☆
Well, popular culture sure spoiled this one, and everything it didn't get, the book's introduction did. Seriously, don't go spoiling plot points and character development in your introduction.
The Black Arrow
by Robert Louis Stevenson
· published 1883 · read 2003-10-01
★★★☆☆
Unconventionally, this was my first Stevenson book. Since I had no idea what the War of the Roses was beyond its obscure mention in Kalle Blomquist, I was plenty confused and didn't like it too much. This was probably unjust of me, but it's unlikely that I'll go back to correct my judgement.
