I bought the book, but I'm still on The Maltese Falcon. Hopefully the summer will give me a little free time.

Greetings fellow June / 'Rob Roy' readers.
How are we all faring with our 'Robin Hood of Scotland'? By the end I could read the odd page without consulting the glossary for Scottish dialect. I finished the book tonight but will sensibly sleep on my vote.
Great indeed was the mystery surrounding Rashleigh and Die Vernon although the resolution was rather too predictable. Still, the ending was exciting, albeit adventure novels with a genuine love story are definitely not my preference. I like novels with imponderables, and perhaps I missed them in Rob Roy.
Rob Roy was not one of Scott's best ...
the movie didn't follow the book at all, but was better. Scottish dialect relatively hard to follow. I like Scott but Rob Roy was below standard for Sir Walter. The Talisman and Kenilworth far better books.
