We all love to travel, to new places, new cities in cars, buses, caravans, by air, by the sea but I have travelled everyday since I was ten through books. I have let the ocean kiss my feet on the Coast of Ipanema and nosed around in Calgary and my travel expenses have never been more than the price of a McDonald Cheese Burger. Here's my travelogue where books can be found through the countries they have taken me to. The reviews are not professional and definitely not worth putting into a book review assignment for school! They are just a string of words that tell you what I felt when I travelled to a certain place. If it suits you, you go and book yourself a trip. If not, well...we'll keep it there!

Treasure IslandTreasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ahoy, mateys! I be readin' this book for aboot two months now and I jus' finish'd it, that's what. Thought I migh' drop a few words on how it was.

I fi'st picked up this ol' tome when I was not taller than your knee at a book club an' the landlubber who owned it wanted it back jus' when good ol' Jim 'id in the apple barrel. Years later, my best mate an' me wen' aboard with Cap'n Jack Sparrow, I tried goin' through it again but failed like an ol' dog.

Now, years later, with some real treasure huntin' scallywags, an' one of them be callin' us 'Treasure 'unters' all the ruddy time and the other findin' it pleasin' to the eye, I decided I'd give it a go.

By Gawd! Is it good as rum? You bet your cutlass it is! Be forewarned, if ye be 'f a weaker 'eart, the voyage aboard Hispaniola is not for you. You better be fancin' pirates, adventures and a few shenanigans with two faces, come aboard with a bottle o' rum and blabber aboot it to yer mateys! If not, be gone yer scurvy dog!
