    Beautiful

    I first read Lorna Doone when I was in 3rd Grade and was sick with Mono. I didn't understand half of the book but it was so memorizing I couldn't stop reading.This is one of the best classics because you smile and cry and really feel like you are inside the story.Movies can only do so much justice to the literary genius. Don't be lazy read the book to really feel the story!!!

    Slow Begining. It does get better!!!

    Like i said the begining was very slow and rather boribg but as u get more into it it gets better! I do have to say that it was very similar to Romeo and Juliet. This is a real life account so i cant say its a ripp off of it but again very simiulat.

    Coming of age

    As a very young child, John Ridd encounters the equally young Lorna while fishing in Doone territory. The Doones, born noble, were deprived of their birthright, and now live in a fortress above the Somerset moors, sometimes emerging to pillage the countryside for food, money, and comely women. It's love at first sight for John, who, in spite of the fact that the Doones murdered his own father, falls hard for the enchanting Lorna. Blackmore's romance/adventure takes the couple through trials and tribulations, and the lowborn John sadly doubts that he can ever be worthy of Lorna. Little does he know of her true origins.

    Blackmore, naturally, wrote in the language of his times, a style that tends toward poetical effusion. The modern reader must summon up the patience to work through the verbosity to find the gem of a story beneath. It's well worth the effort, and flashes of gentle satire and humor help make the journey a satisfying one.

    Highly recommended

    Lorna Doone is a combination of romance, adventure and history. The novel is set during the political and religious warfare of 17th century England. The aristocratic Doones are an outlaw clan, who lost their land and fortune in a legal dispute. They kidnap Lorna, heir to a vast fortune, when she is 5 years old and raise her as a Doone. The Doones plan to marry her to Carver Doone and then lay claim to her money and property. However, John Ridd, whose father was killed by the Doones, accidentally wanders into the Doone stronghold, where he meets Lorna. Even though she is a Doone he falls in love with her. The pair meets secretly for several years. Then John rescues Lorna to prevent her impending marriage to Carver. John's hopes of marrying Lorna are dashed when the British High Court discovers that Lorna is the daughter and immediate heir of the late Earl of Dugal. She becomes a ward of the court and is placed in the custody of an uncle. John and Lorna have to overcome rank (which was very rigid in those days), money and religious differences to find a way to be together. During the time period in which Lorna Doone was set King Charles II was on the throne. The Protestant British feared that Charles was too close to the Papacy and feared that the Pope was undermining British sovereignty. John Ridd's home becomes the base of operations for the King's troops and spies, who are out to prevent an uprising against the King. The book contains political intrigue, rebellions, a secret goldmine, an attack on the Doone stronghold that goes wrong when competing militias turn their guns on each other, religious tension and divided loyalties to the King. Lorna Doone is a wonderful book with a beautiful love story, edge-of-your-seat adventure and fascinating history. Some of the language is archaic, so I wouldn't recommend this novel for teenagers unless they are mature readers. If you love classic literature you will enjoy this book. English history buffs will also find this an interesting read due to its factual historical setting.
