I am reading that as well at the moment. I'm still at the stockade (Chapter 23). By the way, it's Jim Hawkins.
Have you ever heard of Treasure Planet? It's inspired and based by Treasure Island. It's a Disney film and was a box office failure, but it was a great movie nonetheless. They show it alot on Toon Disney. It takes place in the future and they are space pirates. The characters haven't changed much, but Jim is alot older, but he has a problem. His father ran off when he was little and Jim gets into a lot of trouble. Long John Silver is a cyborg with a missing leg and arm (replaced with mechanical parts) and becomes like a father to him. The Doctor is really clumsy in the movie though and Captain Smolett is a girl (She and the Doctor fall in love.) Instead of a marooned pirate, Ben is a robot. It's a pretty good movie and I love watching it.

I finished the book a while ago (I forgot to tell you). I honestly don't like as much as Treasure Planet. Wasn't enough character developement and they all seemed static, but was a good book.
