    <body><![CDATA[In general, I do not like the idea of reading a historical fiction. I did not know at the outset of my read that this is a historical fiction and I am glad I did not know. People (some that I know personally) easily confuse that fiction part and make it into non-fiction, but reading it as a fiction ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55300238">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The main theme of Kidnapped is the friendship between Alan and Davi, a friendship that i would never thought would happened. The book makes me think that if these two given their bloody history can be friends then anyone in life can be friends no matter what they have been through. If not be friends...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58239150">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Classics are so often ignored, but should be required reading for everyone who calls him/herself human. Sure, the old Scottish here is a bit to manage at first, but it quickly becomes familiar, and you find yourself in the hold of the dank, unsteady ship, fighting for your very life! <br/><br/>Thi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39109947">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'll give it 3 and a half stars.  I had no problem with the beginning and ending, like the dude who wrote the introductory notes seems to have had.  But this book was just too much running away.  I love RLS style, I like his attitude and views on life, I'm sure if I could have met him I'd have thoug...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45804978">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The kidnap is only the frame, the tale is more of trust and friendship despite circumstances and politics that would seek to divide and the wider society that jumps to conclusions, blaming the wrong people for notable crimes.
