The Master of Ballantrae - 2.75/5 Scottish Lords

So, everybody knows the book Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, I think this is largely due to the Muppets, but when I was eight years old I read it for the first time, and I really liked it, I also have always loved the poem The Land of Counterpane by the same author as well as the story Kidnapped . I was looking for some light reading recently and I came across another of R.L.S.'s works The Master of Ballantrae. About 70 pages in I officially hated all of the characters, they are despicable people, every one. And if they all didn't get exactly what they deserved in this book it would get 0/5 Scottish Lords. There is a lot of neat stuff in this book like Indians, Pirates and people being buried alive, but it doesn't really go into enough depth, descriptions are vague and sometimes unsatifactory. I think this is one of those books where they could make a movie that surpasses the book.
