"Once again, great descriptions. Though "translating" the thick Scottish dialect some characters used was difficult at times. I felt like I was learning another language. " — Heidi (4 out of 5 stars)
"Once again, great descriptions. Though "translating" the thick Scottish dialect some characters used was difficult at times. I felt like I was learning another language. "
" I didn't even get past page 100 - it was so difficult to read the language and follow the story line. Not fun at all :-( "
" The style is just too old-fashioned for me. There actually is an interesting story in there, burried in page after page of boring detail and tangents. "
" The first page of this book is absolutely DELICIOUS. However, the rest of it is a bit on the boring side... it drags. It did have a certain cuteness to it though, which was enough to keep me reading. It's a relaxing book. "
" One of my favorite classic books. Written by the same author as 'Peter Pan'. This is funny, serious, and has great characters. Bekah, you will love the heroine! "
" Quite enchanting, except for those portions where it was merely gripping. "
" Great writing - a different time, some of the doric mystified me - had to guess. gotta finish this one today. Excellent, now thats romance "
" I started this twice before losing interest. I'll come back to it again. I think I just had too many other books I really want to read. "
" One of the wittiest most endearing novels I have ever read! Babbie is an unimaginable pleasure. I all but ate up her words. One of very few stories who has a likeable heroine. "
