Book review - "Kidnapped" by Robert Louis Stevenson (re-read)

 Classic. First third is brilliant - the dodgy uncle, the stairs, the will, the boat, meeting Alan Breck, the roundhouse siege, landing on a foreign shore, the deadly blind man. Then it gets involved with shenanigans amongst highlanders and is less interesting though I loved the lord in the "cage". It just isn't up to its first third. Battle of wits finale.
