Rob Roy Audiobook

" I think its just me. Authors from this era lose me with all their description. It's me, not Sir Walter. "

" Hmm, I'd like to read this again. "

" i read this so long ago had I not seen the movie I would probably not remember it! Written in ye olde English. "

" If you've never read Scott, I suggest him. He writes great and exciting adventure novels that also give you a glimpse into history. I finished it and I don't recommend it. The whole point of Scott is romantic and rip-roaring adventure. This one isn't so rip-roaring. "Waverly" is way better. "

" A bit heavy-going in places but not a bad read if you like your nineteenth-century novels. Most of the dialogue is in Scottish dialect which gets a bit wearing. "

" Yes...I am still reading this. But I am almost done! And you've gotta love swashbuckling strangers, dastardly dark-haired cousins, capable heroines who are conveniently not your cousins, kindly money-lenders, and largely unreadable dialect. Ach, the Scottish Highlands call my name, laddies! "

" if you hate adventure in the scottish highlands you should probably not read this book, because it's pretty heavy on the adventure in the scottish highlands. "

" Rob Roy is the second Scott novel I have read and the second one I loved to distraction! It is a perfect story with just the right amount of romance, adventure and humor in it. The characters were all incredibly memorable like old friends. If you have not read Rob Roy, you really need to! "

" Fortunately, the only connections with either movie of the same name are the title and Scotland. "

" A good story, but not compelling. I found it to be a bit 'putoffish'. "

" Sometimes hard to follow the Scottish brague...but worthwhile. "

" Ay'd ruther rayd yll the spaich 'o village idjits! "

" It's no Ivanhoe, but a close second "

" A very challenging read for me because of all the Scottish dialect. I can't believe it was a sensation when it was first published. Those readers were much more patient and perhaps more literate than I am!! I intend to try again, but not right now! "

" One of my very favorite stories of all time! And probably the most romantic. It is written in old Scottish dialect, which might prove to be difficult to read for some people. I also recommend the movie, which of course is not the same as the book, but still excellent. "

" Saw the film Rob Roy, and felt that it was not like the book at all, did enjoy Rob Roy, but I do enjoy Scott's style. "

" If you liked the '15, you'll love the '45! More Scots local color, more young Englishmen swept up by the current of history, chases, escapes, swordfights, etc... "

" The Scottish dialect can take quite a while to get through but it really is a wonderful book if you're into stories with a whole lot of adventure and romance. Sir Walter Scott employs beautiful imagery in Rob Roy and you will feel as though you're actually in the Scottish Highlands yourself. "

" It gave me a headache but I guess that just means I shouldn't move to Scotland. Or try to understand English political history. "

" I really wanted to like this one. The novel's a classic and relates to Scotland and my family history, but I couldn't make it through. I even bought a Scots/English dictionary but I just couldn't stick it out long enough for the plot to grab me. "

" Purchased this book while in Edinborough and read much during my short time in Scotland. Ahhh! "

" Too long winded to finish. "

" A bit heavy-going in places but not a bad read if you like your nineteenth-century novels. Most of the dialogue is in Scottish dialect which gets a bit wearing. "

" I read that one after seeing the movie, unfortunately. The general tone is really different, and I had a difficult time getting rid of the movie's strong visuals. My fault, for this is a great book. "
