    I am a 29 year old with a university level English literature degree with an interest in older novels, and I found this book so hard to read that I had to swap it for your audiobook. Thank you!
    For anyone studying this in high school - that's a tough gig. Lots of old language and difficult accents. Well done for getting through it.

      Thank you--Glad to hear it helped! Yes, there's a lot of antiquated language & seafaring jargon that's just not common in our day to day discourse. I suppose that's why in high school it's part of AP English, and not just Summer Reading Extra Credit! 😉👍

    I have ADHD, and for me it makes reading things extremely hard, especially when in old english. But i also have a hyper fixation in pirates. Id wanted to read this book and tried three times, but each time was futile as i became distracted or just couldn’t read it. But then I found this and oh my goodness it has been amazing. Finally i finished the book, and with amazing voice acting no less!! Thank you so much for this!!

    I just want to say thank you so much! I have listened to almost all of Treasure Island through your audiobook and I have loved every second of the book because of your voices and how clear you are when you read.
    Also, I have checked the comments on all of your videos and I have noticed that you have responded to almost everyone's comments! Thank you for being so committed to your job!

    • @StephenStanton

    By far Stephen Stanton is the best narrator of this great story. My favorite movie is Disney's 1934 version with Wallace Berry as Long John, and Lionel Barrymore Lionel as Black Dog, although Jackie Cooper is awful as Jim Hawkins, and you may lay to that.

    • @StephenStanton
      @StephenStanton  7 років тому +1

      Thanks so much for the kind words Rick! Love the Disney version myself! Glad you're enjoying this audio version :)

      @arnoldronning5471 4 роки тому

      Hi, Murky Vista, just a small correction to make. The Disney Version was made in 1950 and started Bobby Driscoll as Jim Hawkins and Robert Newton as Long John Silver. The 1934 film is black and white and was produced by MGM. You did correctly recall the actors and their parts. Both are good films. I will also recommend 1990’s TREASURE ISLAND. A young Christian Bale plays Jim and Oliver Reed plays Billy Bones like he was born for it. Charleton Heston is the only American but does a marvelous job of capturing the treacherous side of LJ Silver.
      But Stephen Stanton, you have topped them all with this magnificent reading! Bravo, I am recommending it to all my friends, “and you may may to that!”

    Thank you so much for this, I didn't know if my teacher would be right when he told me to do a read along but I was wrong, I read more in 3 days than I did in a week by a fair amount. Crazy to think a guy I'll probably be hearing the voice of again soon in Star Wars: The Bad Batch also helped me read a book in school I thought before would take a week or so to finish. Thank you so much, my life has been saved! I really enjoyed the book too, which is good because it's been too long since I read a good book!
