About the author
Robert Louis Stevenson
6,633 books6,894 followersRobert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of English literature. He was greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov.
Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their narrow definition of literature. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson's popularity and allow him a place in the Western canon.

Pretty Fun
The good: another level 2 reader for people looking for more content. The story's fun, and the ending subverts your expectations while still making sense. I also like how the story is told from multiple perspectives, which is done pretty well for the most part. The language is pretty natural for what you can do with the limited number of characters,
From a more Taiwanese perspective: there's some grammar, like 通過, that sounds kinda weird to me; in Taiwan, I'm more used to seeing 透過 instead for the same purpose. From what I've learned, 通過 is more for passing, like 我通過那個考試。 Idk if that's a TW-CN difference, but that stood out.

It's a fun book! It doesn't follow directly from the novel, so I was able to read it without knowing what would happen.
