Beware! 23 Mar 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Although this is a great book, it is heavily abridged and censored from the original version. This is probably a good thing if you are buying the book for a child to read, as all of the shockingly racist terms have been removed, but is not helpful if you are studying the text! I bought the book for my English Lit degree and found nothing to indicate that it was abridged or censored until the lecture when it became apparent that whole sections of the book were missing. So, make sure you buy the appropriate edition and enjoy!

By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book I felt initially was too old fashioned for me to read. It appears to be all too happy and cheery. Yet once you begin to read the book you appreciate it for what it is. It is a boyish adventure written at a time when there was faith in the world and it was believed that there was good in all. I now feel that this book is very well written. It shows a side to these boys that now in Lord of the Flies by William Golding and The Beach by Alex Garland seem to feel no longer exists. It shows faith in humans and I feel that it is a book that if taken for what it is is a very enjoyable book.

The Coral Island 16 Aug 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The book was delivered promptly and was in good condition and easy to read. Unfotunately it was a somewhat abridged ediion, which was not what I wanted. I cannot recall for sure now, but I don't think the listing in Amazon mentioned that it was abridged. The fact that it rates as a children's book does not mean that abridgement is acceptable. As I remember from my own childhood one of the missing passages has to do with some gruesome actions of the 'cannibals' who land on the island! Whether or not this is 'politically correct' today, it gives a creepy pleasure to most normal children who read the book. I find uninvited censorship of this kind deplorable.
