What’s the book that you are reading? It seems you are deeply absorbed in it. Avinash: Yes, I have already read the book once. Now, it is my second reading. The book is really very interesting. Muthu: Is it? What is the title of the book and who is the author? Avinash: It is ‘Treasure Island’ written by the famous novelist R. L. Stevenson. Muthu: Yes, I know.

Avinash: The book is about a treasure hunting expedition. The hero is a thirteen–year old boy named Jim Hawkins. Muthu: Oh, I see. What makes the book so interesting? Avinash: The author keeps the readers spellbound with the twists and turns in the plot. The adventures, brave deeds, and the horrors and terrors of the struggle keep the readers engaged and absorbed.
