I thought that this book was a solid adventure novel even though it was written in 1819. Scott paints a dynamic picture of the tensions betweens the Saxons and the Normans of the 12th Century. There are a lot of hidden identities, and like an opera or ballet, the book requires you to take a leap of faith that the person in disguise would not be recognized! This is a fast moving and exciting thriller--yes I might even use that word for a classic.
