Book review of, Silver, My Own Tale As Written by Me with a Goodly Amount of Murder

by Edward Chupack.

This is the biography of Long John Silver, the fictional pirate of Treasure Island fame. The language of it is so beautiful it hurts my cold, black heart to read it.

"Young Silver, and fondly I recall the lad, knew that he was headed directly for Hell and not anyplace where he would be playing the harpsichord or spinet."
