4.0 out of 5 stars
An old-school story..., Sep 30 2011
By J. Maier "ZippoGeek" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kidnapped (Mass Market Paperback)
...with many relevant themes: treachery, perseverance and above all, loyalty. A difficult read for a high-school freshman, owing to setting, period and Victorian verbosity. But the didactic in this classic makes it well worth slogging through. I would have given it 5 stars, but unfortunately the binding fell apart like every other Signet book I've read since 1986!
