Treasure Island (version 3, dramatic reading)
Robert Louis Stevenson
Lu par LibriVox Volunteers
When a rough old seaman calling himself "the Captain" appears at the inn owned by Jim Hawkins' father, young Jim little dreams what adventures will follow in the man's wake. Soon, the once-peaceful inn is threatened by pirates, Jim's father is laid in his grave, and Jim finds himself in possession of a map showing the location of treasure buried by the legendary and notorious Captain Flint. Along with a group of brave men: the sensible Dr. Livesey, the fearless and unflagging Captain Smollett, and the blustering but well-meaning Squire Trelawney, Jim sets out in quest of the treasure. Many perils, from wild animals to murderous villains to stormy seas will beset him on the way. And ever in the background, smiling and enigmatic, lurks the one-legged ship's cook, Long John Silver. One of the best-loved adventure stories of all time, Treasure Island is a pirate classic that delights readers today as much as when Stevenson first wrote it. (Summary by Eden Rea-Hedrick)

Critiques
Strong Supporting Cast but Narrator was lacking
Mason
The story is well told and the supporting characters make good pirates but the narrator who does Jim Hawkins needs a better mic.
A LibriVox Listener
I liked the dramatic reading using different voices for each of the characters. The story flowed nicely. Finished the book in one evening.
worth a listen
A LibriVox Listener
clear reading, but lacking a bit in spirit and emotion.

Well read and acted;microphone needed a little more work, though.
Great
A LibriVox Listener
besides the audio quality of the lead reader, this is great.
Classic
Vann
This was classic Verne. Great story with twists along the way. Disappointed in the sound quality of the reader for Jim Hawkins. The sound was muffled and volume low. Other than that, it was a good listen.
