Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson
I thought this was excellent. Didn't speak a word of Gaelic but hoot hoot I've nae doubt picked up a few reading this. The voices are brilliantly done (though our hero David Balfour can sound a little shrill at times) and the narration is clear and strong, making the quite complicated history easy to follow, though I did have to rewind a few times to get some of the names! My favourite bit was David after a shipwreck stuck on a little outcrop in the stormy sea, it's cold and raining and he has neither shelter nor food and is desperate to get away. I was right there with him!

A history lesson
A rapid romp through the disasters that befall David Balfour, a character who it is very easy to like and engage with. He has just enough courage but fear to seem realistic. I would have preferred a narrator who is actually Scottish - on occasion he became posh home counties, at others Irish. The ending is not 100% satisfactory so you may like to also download Catriona, the follow up to Kidnapped to hear the continuation of David Balfour's life. One down side - a more detailed knowledge of Scottish history from this period would have made the story make more sense! But I muddled through.

Excellent
Simply outstanding! Great story. Insight into the Scottish history and character. Perfect example of Stevenson’s genius as a storyteller and one of the best adventure writers of all times.

A great yarn
A well-paced, enjoyable adventure story set on the high seas and the Highlands of Scotland. Although the Scottish accent not the best at times, it didn’t really detract from the narration.

Story was well paced, and though the language difficult at times it was easy to follow and exciting. Well read as well.

Excellently Read
Excellently read although might have been difficult to understand if I wasn't Scottish. Even more interesting to find out that Alan Breck Stewart was a real person.
