Catriona Audiobook

" David Balfour (aka Catriona) may not be as action packed as the first one (Kidnapped), but it has a more complex plot and more heart. It was nice to see how David got into and out of trouble again, and I loved the ending. "

" This is the sequel to Kidnapped. Good, but not as good as Kidnapped. "

" It may not be as action packed as the first one (Kidnapped), but it has a more complex plot and more heart. It was nice to see how David got into and out of trouble again. "

" Little known sequel to Kidnapped. Reasons became obvious while reading it. "

" Audiobook..... "

" Now I know why Stevenson didn't write girls into his stories. "

" Very good, follows on from 'Kidnapped', a better rounded book, but essential to have read 'Kidnapped' first. "

" a bit slower and hard going than kidnapped. But still a good read and very satisfying end. "

" Catriona (a.k.a. David Balfour)is an enjoyable epilogue to the greater work of Kidnapped. It is the story of David Balfour, in love with the miss Catriona, and the many perils in which he is placed by circumstance, and how, in these, he proves his mettle. "

" hmmm fairly boring so far, but we'll see if it gets better "

" This sequel is almost as good as it's prequel. Well worth the read if just for the wonderful discriptions of Edinburgh. I love all the scottish novels by Stevenson that I have had the opportunity to read. "

" This book ended very well. However, as a sequel to Kidnapped, it is not at all like the adventurous Kidnapped, but more of an ambling love story. Stevenson writes very well, but the book definitely dragged in the middle. "

" This is the continuation of Kidnapped, and I would say it's neither better nor worse than the first book. A bit of an adventure, and a bit of a romance. A decent read. "

" While the plot is made more complicated by the narrator's perspective, the characters encountered are wonderful. I especially loved the character of Lady Barbara. She's the wit of the book. "

" bueno, para chicos... "

" This sequal to Kidnapped is even better! "

" This was better than I expected it to be. I guess I was thinking it would be more like Robinson Carusoe which was kind of boring. This book was fast-paced and full of action--relatively speaking for a novel of this time period. "

" I remember reading this in the 7th grade in English class and thinking it was boring, but then I saw that play, and the story really came to life then, and I like it now. "

" Oxen and wain-ropes would not bring me back again to that accursed island; and the worst dreams that ever I have are when I hear the surf booming about its coasts, or start upright in bed, with the sharp voice of Captain Flint still ringing in my ears: ‘Pieces of eight! pieces of eight!’ "

" This is such a cool read! Pretty exciting stuff! OK sometimes the old school english and pirate speak are hard to understand but that's part of the fun. "

" Very good adventure book that everyone should read. The conflict between the pirate and the lawman arise. I for one am a lawman. "

" This is a different book than the previous book I've just read. This included more detailed expressions. "

" I had never read this story even it is very famous. I realized that this story affects many people. That reminds me of "One piece," and "The pirates of Caribbean." "

" An enduring classic for very good reasons! It was well worth reading again 50 years later. "

" The grandfather of all pirate books. While this book has been adapted many times, it still is an enjoyable read and has everything you want in a good pirate story and is the originator of much of pirate lore. "

" What a great ride. Too bad it took me 42 years to get to this book. "

" I was totally surprised that I liked this book! One of those classics that's not too old-timey... "

" Liked it before, liked it again. Fast and easy read that spun me back into my childhood. "

" Better late than never I suppose. While searching the library bookshelf for Bram Stoker's Dracula, I came across this instead. Though it is meant to be enjoyed by those around age ten, I found it exciting from start to finish. I'll put it on my list of things to read to my kids at bedtime. "
