5.0 out of 5 stars Alot to live up to!, 21 April 2003
By Catriona Mitchell-Hynd (Wymondham, Norfolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Catriona (Hardcover)
I only recently got round to reading this thoroughly enjoyable book. Being named after the title character had stubbornly put me off reading it in my childhood, but upon recently realising that this was ridiculous I picked up one of the many copies that I own and started to read it - I couldn't put it down! If you loved Kidnapped or Treasure Island, you will really enjoy this. More adult and more politically focused story line. The romance may put younger male readers off a little! Enjoy ! Catriona

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as its prequel., 6 May 2002
By A Customer
Brilliant.It's as good as its prequel ,Kidnapped.
There is contrast between the two,as Kidnapped is set in the Scotish Highlands,amidst clan rivalry,whereas Catriona is set in the legal coruption and political intrigue of 18th century Edinburgh.I thoroughly enjoyed this book but there were a couple of chapters that were a bit lovey-dovey,which as a 13 year old boy I found extremly boring and uninteresting.It takes up the thread were Kidnapped left off with David Balfour going to give evidence against the hanging of James Stuart(James of the Glens)for his alleged part in the Appin Murder.I would give this book 10/10.Even though it has a few boring chapters it is still worthy of five stars.In short this is a great story of adventure and bravery and I feel sorry for anyone who has no intention of reading this brilliant book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yes! Finally! A girl!, 14 Mar 2005
By A Customer
As much as I loved Kidnapped, it always seemed to lack, well, three-dimensional female charcters. I found the politics - legal, gender, ethnicity, much more interesting than simply trecking over vast wastes, primarily because they involved people. The best bits in Kidnapped definitely involve landscape and plot, whereas the best bits of Catriona are the dialogue characterisation. Catriona gets unfairly sidelined by its teenage boy audience who aren't mature enough yet to understand a mature David Balfour.

It wasn't an adventure story, though, and could have done with a few more incidents plot-wise. Its certainly less plot-driven anyway.
