Reviews

Praise for "Silver""[A] witty romp...This isn't 'Treasure Island' revisited, nor is it a sequel. Like the pirate he celebrates, Chupack has taken a bit here and a bit there....to create something glitteringly original. [Robert Louis Stevenson] would certainly have approved of Chupack's efforts." --New York Times Book Review"'A lie is peach pie. The truth is porridge, '' says Long John Silver, the brazenly duplicitous fabulist of this invigorating novel by Edward Chupack. ... Given to exotic turns of phrase (London is a town of ''skinny dogs and fat rats''; a scurvied mate has a mouth like a ''shallow grave''), the old salt's tale gleams like a sharpened cutlass."--"Entertainment Weekly""A fascinating, rough-edged read. A thoroughly unsanitized Long John Silver in his own 'write' brutal, bloody---and altogether gripping."--Diana Gabaldon, author of "A Breath of Snow and Ashes""Raving, raging, wheedling, bullying, plotting, bellowing, yarning away, the remarkable voice of Silver himself is the gift that Edward Chupack has given us in this daring novel. The old blackguard surely does love the sound of own voice. I loved it too."--Jon Clinch, author of "Finn"
