Moonfleet Audiobook (Unabridged)

" 3.5 stars. A pretty good late-19th century adventure story with smuggling and hidden treasure. There are some unpleasant details--branding and death and so on--but no more so than other late 19th/early 20th century adventure stories. I see a lot of local libraries have it in children's, but I'm glad mine doesn't--it's not likely to appeal much to the modern child, and it does have some pretty tough moments. Not that kids shouldn't read it, but it's one of those books that's better discovered in the adult collection by children and adults. "

" Another home reader from high school. Probably when I was around twelve. I don't know what I'd think of it as an adult but it was a good story for that age group. "

" YA know, Its amazing some of the amazing books you can find at a thrift store for $.25 cents and fall in love with a book. "

" Read this as a kid and loved it "

" I read this in Grade 9 - it was a great story with privateers, smuggling, living on the lamb and everything else that a 14 year old is interested in (except for sex). ;) "

" I love to escape in wordy, formally styled writing, it gives an insight into values long gone, but also the human qualities that are changeless. Shivery adventures in the night,undertones of terror, this is even better than 'Treasure Island'! "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A tale of treasure found that sends me to the types of books I enjoyed in my youth. "

" Another high school read. I liked it then but subsequent readings have put it in my all time favourites list. The ordeals described are touching & incredible. "

" Great point of view novel! Well told & descriptive of this young orphan's becoming a man. "

" This is an older child's classic adventure story of pirates and treasure, a fatherless boy and the gruff, wise father figure who stays with him through thick and thin. I love the language and it is well read in the Librivox version. "

" Remarkable insofar as it is told from the point of view of a child in a town where he and the town are almost entirely in sympathy with smugglers. Well-written but let down by an increasingly implausible plot. "

" Years ago. Don't remember much about it. I know I finished it which means I must have liked it. "

" My favorite novel ever ..if i read it million time will never get fed up with it at all :) <3 ! "

" Excellent adventure story. Loved it. Reminded me of Treasure Island and Shipwrecked. Thanks to Chris for the recommend. "

" Charming, concise where needed and prosaic when called for. No preaching or overly sentimental and yet a crisp enjoyable adventure tale. "

" I read this as a child and couldn't resist reading it again when my own daughter brought it home from school for an English project. It's as good as I remember........ "

" I don't remember a lot about it...except they were near the sea and there was a love story..and maybe some kinda mafia involved.. "
