Treasure Island!!!
By Sara Levine
Genre:
Literary Fiction
Review:
A 25 year old young woman is losing her way in life, and after reading Treasure
Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, she decides to emphasize the values she finds
in the book, and let these traits guide her life: independence, boldness,
resolution, and horn-blowing. As she strives to be more independent, she comes
into conflict with her boyfriend Lars, her sister, and her parents. Her
boldness leads her to quit her job, and she floats along, holding on to the “boys’
adventure story” for dear life. This book is hilarious, quirky, absurd, and
unlike anything you’ve ever read. It encapsulates the way many 25 year olds
feel right now, but it is just weird (not too realistic) enough to let the
reader experience enjoyably.
