Book Reviews of Rob Roy (Penguin Classics)

Book Review: A Rippingly Good Read!
Summary: 5 Stars

This book has it all: action, romance, intrigue, revenge, and an outlaw who's really not so bad after all. Although the book takes its title from the character of Rob Roy, you really don't meet him until two hundred pages into the story...or do you? Instead, the novel focuses on Francis Osbaldistone, which may be a little disconcerting for those readers who expect a rolicking adventure novel. For me, the most interesting character is that of Helen McGregor, Rob's wife. She seemed to be a shrew who controlled not only her husband, but the rest of the highlanders as well. All in all, though, the novel is a wonderful read, perfect for a Sunday afternoon.
