5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible read. You won't be dissapointed., August 4, 2010

This review is from: Lorna Doone; a Romance of Exmoor (Kindle Edition)

I remember This was a book I had to read for school when I was 11 or so. Usually that meant I was made to read something I really didn't want to. But with this book I found I couldn't stop reading it. I was only suppose to read a chapter at a time but I finished right off. It is at it's core a romantic tale, and being a young boy at the time I would never have picked something described as such. But it goes beyond just a regular romance novel. The story is captivating and the ending will grab you like very few books do.

This review is from: Lorna Doone A Romance of Exmoor (Hardcover)

As my title states, this is a classic love story of old England, between a rich young woman, who has been kidnapped as a child by the ruthless Doones, heritage forgotten, and a young farmer, John Ridd, who is as brave as he is good, though perhaps foolish to stand up to the Doones, for the young woman in who's heritage they are planning to cash in on through marrying her to Carver Doone, the most ruthless of them all, who has no intention of letting her get away.
