Rating: Summary: Absolutely fabulous Review: I loved the series and was disappointed when I finished Drums because I know it will be a long wait for the next two books. Why stop with two more? Continue on as long as time travel permits.... Somehow Diana has made time travel seem so possible.
Rating: Summary: A Smart Woman, A Strong, Gentle Man, TimeTravel & Romance!!! Review: This is undoubtedly the BEST book of it's kind I have ever read! All of Diana Gabaldon's work has completely captivated me! I had no idea I would love time-travel themed books! I am hooked!
Rating: Summary: AWESOME STORY TELLING. TRANSPORTING YOU THERE. Review: I LEARNED OF THE SERIES FROM A FRIEND AT WORK AND ALTHOUGH I HAD NEVER CONSIDERED ROMANCE NOVELS AS MY FIRST CHOICE, I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY THE POWER OF GREAT STORY TELLING. MY HUSBAND ALSO READ THE SERIES AND WE WERE LEFT WANTING FOR MORE. THIS SERIES CROSSES GENDER BOUNDERIES. MEN WILL LOVE THE HISTORICAL PORTIONS OF LOVE AND WAR. I FOUND MYSELF LOVING THE CHARACTERS OF THESE BOOKS SO MUCH I ALMOST FELT I KNEW THEM. DIANA GABALDON IS TRULY A GIFTED WRITER AND STORY TELLER INSPIRING US ALL TO DREAM.
Rating: Summary: slower than the first Review: Drums is a good book....but by far the best written was Outlander..that book captured your imagination and heart all in one. Drums didnt capture your imagination like the Outlander or Dragonfly in Amber. It did alot of droning on about insignifact things..and the misunderstanding with Jamie and Roger and sending Roger off like that..that part wasnt the greatest scene. But now Brianna and Roger are breaking in a new Mckenzie clan. And there is still the Revolutionary War to happen. Knowing Jamie...he will get caught up in that somehow. I am anxiously awaiting the 5th. After reading the other reviews..i too believe that a movie can be made...but why Kevin Sorbo? I think Adrian Paul should play Jamie..and he is Scots..and maybe Sean Connery can play one of the older characters..maybe Colum.
Rating: Summary: A fascinating, interesting, historical novel. Review: I just happened to order this book from a book club to which I belong. It turned out to be one of those books you just can't put down. Then it was searching the used book stores for the next three novels. The same theme and characters are in all four novels. I thoroughly enjoyed the historical as well as fanciful aspects of all. Try to read the books in the order in which they were written for the most enjoyment.
Rating: Summary: I've never read any book more than once, except these.... Review: My husband says I read these books like they're bibles. I started reading Outlander 3 months ago, and haven't stopped reading. Since then, I've read the unabridged version on audio cassette (HIGHLY recommended)at least three times, and each book at least that many times. I pick up one of the books at least every day, flip it open to a random page and read for an hour. I've never read a book, let alone a series of books, that left me craving for more like this. I said it already, but for those of you who haven't listened to the unabridged version of Outlander....DO IT! Davina Porter (reader) is absolutely fantasitc. She gives a voice to the characters of my obsession.
Rating: Summary: A Wonderful Saga Review: I bought all four books and read them one right after the other. I couldn't put any of them down, as a found myself so caught up in the story. And Jamie....I could just picture this handsome, wild looking Scotsman. I also enjoyed reading about the history and people of that time, which Ms. Gabaldon brought to life. After finishing the fourth book, the only thing I found disappointing was that it had to end, and I felt like I was left hanging and there should have been more. Now I hear there is likely a fifth and sixth book...great. This story is not over yet! I will anxiously await these books, and I will definitely re-read the set again.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Book Review: Diana Gabaldon is a wonderful story teller! I can hardly wait for the next book to be finished so I can continue on with the story.
Rating: Summary: Riviting! Review: Thank you Diana for this marvelous series. After Outlander, Dragonfly, and Voyager, I wasn't sure how you were going to go. I must say - I really loved Drums! At times it was slow but all in all I was stuck. Most of my questions were answered and the twists near the end! Please!!! Give me more!!!
Rating: Summary: Loved Diana Gabaldon's 4 books of Jamie & Claire Review: The only bad thing about these books is that they ended. I wanted them to go on & on! Full of history & romance, I have since looked up 18th century Scotland to find out more of that time period. I fell in love with Jamie & truly admired Claire, hope I could be as clever & resourseful in that situation. Makes you wonder what it would be like to suddenly whisked back 200 years. I've read them all twice!
