Review:

A good adventure yarn, lots of daring escapes in the moonlight.

Way too long. Waaaaaaay too long. Needed an editor.

A good exposition of the Scottish religious fanaticism, the Covenanters, the Cameronians. A terrible waste of lives.

Hard going with reading all the dialogues in Scots dialect.

A classic, perhaps with flaws, but deservedly a classic.

This book made me want to: get it done and on to the next book
