Finished reading this last night. It was a fun adventure. Never have I read so much authentic Scottish dialect, "bonny" and "unco" probably being my two favorites. It was pretty humorous most of the time. But this is a great buddy adventure with the two main characters really developing a true bond despite being completely different people with different backgrounds and viewpoints. It was fun to see them meet and how loyal they became to each other. I liked both characters a lot. While I liked the book overall, it did seem to lack some true excitement that could have pushed to book to a true classic. But instead it was a lot of slow crawling through heather and waiting around for the coast to clear as they made their journey through the north country. But there was still a fair bit of adventure and excitement overall.
