I remember liking it, but I read it when I was 13 or so. Jekyll and Hyde and Treasure Island are certainly more famous, and Weir of Hermiston, though unfinished, is quite often presented as his stylistic masterpiece.
I was planning to read those eventually. As soon as i could get my hands on a copy...now I'm not so sure.
I take it you won't be picking up Catriona, then? (The sequel to Kidnapped)
No I don't expect I will be.
And yes, Stevenson died young. But strangely not from tuberculosis or another disease of the lungs, which is what everyone expected to kill him (and which made him move to Samoa, where he died, in the first place).
Really? I read that he had lung trouble and died young and assumed that was why he died.
Oh and my username is what it is because I couldn't think of a better username...I'm not trying to be obnoxious.

I've not read a great deal of Stevenson, and managed to avoid this one.
