We love this book, it's loaded with many classic stories that have stood the test of time.  It is also a very durable book and still in great condition after much use by young children.  If we travel we just take this book and have so many stories to read all in one book!  Best book gift we've gotten!

This book is a classic. The survey information is really interesting. Weeks after reading this book, I spent many hours thinking about where I would fit in (to their profiles) and what I liked about fitting into "being rich" or "being not rich". I wonder if others also ask themselves the question about whether or not the authors' "rich profilers" are happy or not. Of course it's true, if you are only playing at being rich, then at some point the card house will collapse. On the other side of the fence, I happen to live in a county of a country (Baden Wuerttemberg, Germany) where there are many true rich people - who do not show their wealth and don't talk about it. Generally speaking, I don't find the people here to be very happy... therefore my question, how good is it to be wealthy if you are not happy. Either way, the book is definitely a must for your classic library.

Gets a little long during sometimes, but a classic well worth reading.  The sea adventure part is great, but i am not a literary critic so the hiddenmeanings go right over me.  Kindle is a great way to read it.

My daughter has to read this for her summer reading. I decided to read it to help her. I'm glad I did. It was clear why this is a classic. Many themes are still significant today. It especially gives my daughter the chance to think critically about what she is learning as it relates to her life and society.

Yes, it is a classic. Definitely a long read, demanding attention, but well worth it. Be sure to get the larger paperback (with slightly larger print) so you don't go blind! Also be sure to get the edition with the character descriptions in the front of the book--this is helpful as the characters go by first names, nicknames, last names, first and middle names--can get confusing. (Boutght two versions, not sure which version I am reviewing here, as the image associated with it does not match either of the paperbacks that I bought.)

A very cute classic book that I enjoyed while I was growing up, and now it's my son's favorite to read before bedtime. Definitely worth buying!

Good condition and a wonderful classic children's book! I loved it as a child and read it to my own children when they were young.

I really loved this book. I found out a lot of things that the movie had different. I got it yesterday and I already finished it! I figured that I wouldn't like it since it was a classic, but I did. I really,really, liked this book. :{>

This is a classic, I love it, and it's well written.  But it helps to be well educated in both math and literature to understand it.

I was an avid reader, but somehow things changed in my life, but thanks to my Kindle I am getting back to reading.  With the Kindle reading is now convenient.  Sorry for the plug, but it is true.  I have read many of the "classics" in high school and college literature classes, but somehow missed this one, among others.  I did watch the movie many years ago with my wife, and it was good, but of course, the book gives you so much more.

Do be warned, this is not a high adventure action-packed read.  It is simply a good story well-told.  I was surprised to read so much to get so little, in the sense of reading many pages to find out so few or minor details.  I continued to read as much and as often as I could to get through this book.  It is a great story even if I think it could have been written in half the pages.

It is classic for a reason, do yourself a favor and read it if you had not.  I hope many high school students do not have to read this book, as it is something beyond their typical capabilities because it does not move quickly and is not too exciting.  I think it is more a college level read.

I recently read this book for the first time, rather late in my career as a birth defects epidemiologist.  I loved this book.  It reads well.  It is easy to see why it is a classic.  I would think all high school students should read this book.  I just bought two more copies to give to kids in the neighborhood.  It tells the story of the remarkably short time in which we as people went from not knowing that bacteria caused human disease to learning this important fact and the discovery of many diseases in a few short years.  I discovered what a wonderful scientist Pasteur was.  I learned the Koch did much more than establish Koch's postulates.  I had read just before reading this book, Germ Theory by Robert Gaynes.  The two books give an amazing look at the lives, the joys, the frustrations of these early pioneers that set up the scientific basis of modern medicine.  I could not recommend these two books more highly.
