Set mainly in the Scottish Highlands in the years following the Jacobite Uprising of 1745, Kidnapped follows the fortunes of the young David Balfour as he endeavours to aver the inheritance of which he has been cheated by his scheming Uncle Ebenezer. A tale of kidnap, shipwreck, murder and pursuit, Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic adventure-tale is as compelling now as when it was first published in 1886.

Kidnapped by RL Stevenson was the worst book I have ever read. I was lost the entire time. The leader did not make clear the setting,the plot or anything else in this book. I have never had distress understanding olde English language but I could not read this book because of it. I have yet to see a book that I did not delight in besides this one. A classic? Dont reflect so…..

I have a few words for this book. Confusing dailaouge, hmm…, hmm… I really liked the movie bettter but who doesn’t like movies better than books. I reflect another reason I didn’t like this book is becuase I had to read it while I was sick over prayer, along with reading Bram Stoker’s Dracula and H.G. Wells’ the isle of dr. maeru,(or something like that) but I guess it’s ok if you reflect about it I just dont really like it

I helped my son read this book for summer reading. Is it just me, or is this “classic” a painstaking book to read. Sure the tale itself is to some extent appealing, but reading the dialect and trying to know and define some of the gaelic words was tiresome. I would say after reading some of the words, “WHAT DID HE SAY?”. Some of the words were not in the glossary at the back of the book. I thought this writer needs to learn to breath, with all the commas used to connect his run on sentences. I was tired by the time I read one sentence. While I was reading this with my son, I was thinking that the school needs to select a better book for any future summer reading! Save your time from this “classic” drudge and go out and rent the DVD. It makes the tale A LOT more appealing and follows the book to the end. Sorry, perhaps I learned that I’m just not a fan of Mr Stevenson’s books.

Kidnapped was impossible to get through because of its cumbersome language and confusing details. It is one of the worst novels I have ever selected up and I sorry to say have a few students in my English class reading it as a bonus. Excellent luck! I don’t reflect they’ll make it through this one.

This book was very confusing at parts and very hard to know maybe if Robert Louis Stevenson had spoken in plot english the book would have been a whole lot better. Even though I am sure this is an ancient book. I hope.
