   I don't like to read abridged books, but I read this book and it was appropriate for her age. Although, I don't think that she would have given it much higher of a score than 2 or 3. She understood it, but it really was not that interesting of exciting for her. I don't like to read abridged books, but I read this book and it was appropriate for her age.

   Book Review: Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson is a book which discusses about the life of a boy, “David” and his adventures on the ship “Convenant” and with his friend Alan Stewart on the land of Campbells. This story teaches us a lesson that one is never truly trustable. For instance, David trusted many people but the same people brought him danger. Even his friend Alan who helped him most of the times got him into trouble. It even discusses about “David’s Book Review: Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson is a book which discusses about the life of a boy, “David” and his adventures on the ship “Convenant” and with his friend Alan Stewart on the land of Campbells. This story teaches us a lesson that one is never truly trustable. For instance, David trusted many people but the same people brought him danger. Even his friend Alan who helped him most of the times got him into trouble. It even discusses about “David’s parents and his uncle’s(Mr. Ebenzer) relationship”. His father and uncle both loved David’s mother and at last the made a deal. David’s Father married David’s Mother and David’s Uncle kept the whole ancestral house of Shaws. But David’s Uncle never respected the House of Shaws and it was left in ruins. It is a beautifully crafted story where initially Uncle Ebenzer refused to keep David owing to his hatred towards the holy alliance of his parents whereas later he had soft corner for David after hearing his news of being kidnapped. Lesson of the Story: We should never trust someone blindfolded. On Regular intervals, we should keep a check on our relationships. This will help us to choose right friends to live a serene life.

   After David Balfour is cheated out of his inheritance by his uncle, he is kidnapped aboard a ship. He escapes, only to find himself wrongly accused of murder. David encounters many many hardships on his journey to safety. This story is written long in the past, so some of the language and terms used can be confusing. Overall, though, it is a good, well - written book.

   I thought the story was an interesting one at that. It starts of with a young man's father die and leave a will for him that it turns out he has a different name and owns a house in a different city. He meets his uncle there which was a grumpy old man. The uncle then tricks the young lad into getting on to a boat which was a trade his uncle set up they sell him away for a bag of money. While in the voyage he meets people who help threw out the voyage. He manages to escape and meets a guy who hel I thought the story was an interesting one at that.

   Pretty interesting, if you want a quick kick of action in your day. The plot itself is simple but still convoluted because you're reading a narrative written by a guy who can't seem to introduce his characters and is almost always whining.. Maybe this is just me, but the guy is horrendously childish.. Probably has a deeper meaning?? Pretty interesting, if you want a quick kick of action in your day.

    This was a sad classic for Parker and I. I might have skipped it if I had known. It was a good story though.
