I found this book too long: it lagged on a lot. Scott took too much time with the conversations and descriptions. What was put in 500 pages (for the edition I read) could have easily been put into about 300, and of course make the book much more enjoyable. The first half was kind of boring and the second half was much better, getting rather exciting when the main character went to Scotland to get Rob Roy's help and all the trouble started to climb uphill (which was a small hill). Also, I had difficulty understanding the passages when the Scot's were talking. Overall, it's an average read. I found "Ivanhoe" or "The Talisman" much better....
