 ==Captain Flint==
-I think RLS should have played a bit more with the Captain Flint (human) / Captain Flint (parrot) twist.  I think it would have been interesting if Captain Flint (human) was really just a fictitious alter ego of Long John Silver.  (He was after all, mate on Flint's ship.)  What better way for a highly intelligent man like Silver to escape the gallows than to say 'It wasn't me, it was Captain Flint!'  (Who the reader knows is the parrot, but the shipmates only know as the mysterious captain who keeps saying 'pieces of 8', but is never seen on deck.)  I think RLS had the idea to do this from the time when Hawkins overhears the conversation in the apple barrel, but he ended up having eye-witnesses talk about Flint (human) later in the story.  I think if this had been developed as such, it would have added even more to the mystique of Silver's cunning.

-I last read this book when I was in fourth grade I think.
+This was the first truly long recording I've listened to from LibriVox.  (The longest one I'd listened to before was [[A Christmas Carol]], but it's only five staves long.)  I kind of expected to be a little taken out of the story by the changing voices with each chapter, but I found that, for the most part, the voices were irrelevant.  There were some really good voices among the readers.  There were a few distractions (see below).  However, overall, I'd say that the story itself was good enough that these distractions really didn't affect me as much as I expected, so I'm giving it a 10/8 rating.
