I’m not a fan of Stevenson or Island Fiction in general. It’s just not my thing. But I came across this quote while reading South Sea Tales for class and it made me laugh:
‘He had the courage of a lion and the cunning of a rat;
and if he’s not in hell today, there’s no such place.’
Heh. I know some people like that…
South Sea Tales is one of those books that will go on a shelf and never be read again. I don’t like the style, I don’t like the voice, I don’t like the topic… and I’ve still got Treasure Island to read. (Oh, boy.)
