Scots Language and Robert Louis Stevenson

The book Kidnapped, by: Robert Louis Stevenson is one of the best books I have read. It tells the story of an orphan named David who is going to live with his uncle. He uncle tries to have him killed in an accident which did not end up working, so he gets put on a sailing ship to California to be sold as a slave. On the ship, David meets another boy named Alan. The boys fight the captain and crew of the ship. The ship ends up crashing on some rocks where the boys escape. They find themselves fighting against the elements to survive. They make it in the end and live a normal life. I would give this book four stars out of five. I really enjoyed the fact that it was a historical fiction but was still exiting and fun to read. I found it hard to read sometime because it is written in scots English. On the other hand it made the book authentic. I would recommend this book for a guy between the ages of fifteen-seventeen because it is written from the point of view of David Balfour who is seventeen. The book initially was intended for guys to read because of the plot and I feel that I could feel those intentions while I was reading. Personally I do not like reading long books, I really enjoyed the length of the book because it got to the point but still gave details to make it interesting. I do no think I would change the book because I’m not Scottish and don’t understand the way it was written. I like the flow of the book and the amount of information packed in to 224 pages was amazing. I would like to know what happens to David now that he has his family’s fortunes. I would also like to know if Ebenezer stay depressed for the rest of his
