Rating: Summary: Absolutely amazing! Review: I have never read a series of books as compeling as this one. I don't usually keep books after reading them, but I've made an exception in this case. These four books are very treasured possesions. Can't wait for the next in the series! Keep up the great work Mrs. Gabaldon! Your novels are superb!
Rating: Summary: Can't Get Enough! Review: My Mother turned me on to The Outlander series and now I am completely hooked! Gabaldon is so detailed in her descriptions that you feel transported to the 18th century. The story and characters keep you wanting more and more! I can't wait for "The Firey Cross." Suggestion to those of you who don't have time to read...listen to the series on tape. Recorded Books has a wonderful unabridged version of the series, and the narrator Davina Porter is fantastic! Keep 'em coming Diana!
Rating: Summary: Drums of Autumn Review: Fascinating. I have read all 4 books and can't wait for the fifth one to be published. Excellent writing. Contrary to some other reviews,I've enjoyed the inclusion of Roger and Brianna and the slower pace in some parts of the book. It helped prolonge the suspense. Keep writing Diana.
Rating: Summary: Great adventure Review: I wasn't sure I would like this one. Claire and Jamie weren't in Scotland! It did take me a while to get into this one, but once I did, I tore through it. The characters are real people. By the time I finished this book, I was so sad because there was not another one to pick up. I miss my friends! Gabaldon does her research, and it really shows. Excellent book!
Rating: Summary: Outlander Series Review: I have read the entire Outlander Series. I fell in love with Jamie during the first series, the Outlander. His charming wit and sense of humor was more than a match for Claire. I am waiting on pins & needles for the 5th of the series, The Fiery Cross. I'm sure it will more than match the previous books. Keep up the excellent work Diana.
Rating: Summary: Give me more! Review: Although I loved this book every bit as much as the three previous, I was dissappointed with it,...but only because I knew it was the last in the series, and that I would miss the characters. They became so REAL to me,.........
Rating: Summary: Not as good as the others... Review: The book was really draggy at the beginning but it picked up towards the middle when Brianna went through the stones. Roger wasn't much of a great character (kinda lame) but Jamie and Claire still had "it" and it was such a thrill to read about their love for each other. Hopefully the next book will be a lot better :)
Rating: Summary: Jaime and Claire carry the book Review: My favorite historical fiction novel of the last year or two is Outlander, followed by The Triumph and the Glory, and then Drums of Autumn. The appeal of this genre is the transportation of the reader to other times and places with style and compelling realism, and the Gabaldon accomplishes this task in fine fashion. Next on my list is Voyager!
Rating: Summary: This series is ADDICTING! Review: This is, by far, the best series of books I have ever read! It is extremely difficult to put them down. A person can't help but fall in love with all of the characters, especially Jamie Fraser. It makes one wonder if there are any men out there that can compare.....I know I will be impatiently awaiting book number five!
Rating: Summary: YOU HAVE TO READ THIS SERIES!! Review: This book would deserve five stars if Brianna and Roger weren't talked about so much. They're not very interesting characters. They don't get to me as much as Jamie and Claire do. Great book, though, even if it's not one of the best.
