    From the voice of a generation: the most highly anticipated autobiography of the year, and the story of a man who wanted The Who to be called The Hair; wanted to be a sculptor, a journalist, a dancer and a graphic designer; became a musician, composer, librettist, fiction writer, literary editor, sailor; drank too much and nearly died; detached from his body in an airplane, on LSD, and nearly died; planned to write his memoir when he was 21; and published this book at 67.

    In the eastern reaches of the Thames lies the Hispaniola, an inn kept by Jim Hawkins and his son. Late one night, a mysterious girl named Natty arrives on the river with a request for Jim from her father - Long John Silver. Aged and weak, but still possessing a strange power, the pirate proposes Jim and Natty sail to Treasure Island in search of Captain Flint's hidden bounty. But the thrill of the ocean odyssey gives way to terror as the Nightingale reaches its destination, for it seems Treasure Island is not as uninhabited as it once was....

    Would you try another book from Andrew Motion and/or David Tennant?

    David Tennant is an excellent narrator. Motion raised me up and shot me down with a morbid ending.


    Would you recommend Silver to your friends? Why or why not?

    I couldn't recommend a story, with an ending thats like a fatal bus crash, after a winning trip to Atlantic City.


    What about David Tennant’s performance did you like?

    Spirited and emotionally entertaining storyteller. Can always recommend Mr Tennant.


    Do you think Silver needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    It obviously was written with the author expecting to write a follow up. He could easily have wrapped things up neatly in another 3 chapters. The ending of this has soured me to his intents.


    Any additional comments?

    If not for the narration of David Tennant, this would have been the only audio book, I have gotten, that I would have returned.
