Drums of Autumn

Rating:
Summary: Gripping and thought provoking
Review: Only a very few books of the same length (and weight) of Drums of Autumn are able to maintain an even level of interest (or rather fascination) throughout the entire story. While reading the novel I was struck by the candid, deft "voice" of the author as she continued the story of the very passionate, very human Frasers... Though some of the newer characters were less well developed (lacking the same degree of introspection from the previous novels) they were perfectly believable in their actions and misadventures... Add a plot line ingeniously entangled, accentuated with exquisite detail (highly commendable), and viola! you have a novel of the highest caliber...

Summary: My review/ thoughts on the Outlander Series.
Review: These are the best book I have ever read, thanks to my husband introducing them to me. Not only is my family my life but so are the main characters of Claire and Jamie. Diana Gabaldon's sense of description to details is extremely lifelike and makes the reader feel that they are actually there in the scene. When you finish reading the Outlander book, the life of the characters remain with you--ALWAYS.

Summary: Very absorbing
Review: Drums of Autumn is the only book I've reead this year that can touch THE TRIUMPH AND THE GLORY. It is stunning, a vivid creation of towering proportions, I just LOVED it. I'd never heard of Diana Gabaldon before but I certainly have now.

Summary: A masterful novel!
Review: I've loved the whole series, not only for the absorbing story, the delightful characters, and the hair-raising plot (!), but because of the evolution of the author's skill and technique. As an aspiring writer myself, I'm lost in admiration for the increasing complexity and brilliance of the novels. DRUMS is a marvelous book, balancing emotional subtlety and bravura effects all the way through!

Summary: Absolutely wonderful!
Review: I have devoured every single book in this series the minute I get my hands on it. I had to search for a month to find a copy of this book when it first came out in stores and it was well worth the wait.

Summary: Absolutely fabulous!!!
Review: As with every other book Ms. Gabaldon has written, I could not put this down!! The characters are so vivd and alive, and the accuracy of the historical setting is superb. I find myself going through withdrawal until Ms. Gabaldon publishes a new book, and then can't get the new book soon enough! If you enjoy reading works written beautifully, with the ability to provide the very best visualization, Ms. Gabaldon's books are for you.

Summary: Fascinating
Review: I love to read about everyday life in history. It is excellent when you can read about current habits that have to be readjusted to fit historical life. I can't wait until there is a fifth book. I don't ever want this saga to end.

Summary: Good research makes this book very interesting.
Review: Coming from a Scots background my self, i found this whole series of books facinating. Until I had read these books I had a pretty fuzzy idea of Scottish history. Do you know if there are anymore of the series coming out?
