Summary: Voyager
Review: Wonderful book series. Diana Gabaldon is such a wonderful writer, I got sucked into these stories, the characters became my friends. After you finish the series you will want to turn around and read the whole thing again immediatly. If you are buying these books, you might as well buy two copies of each one. One to keep and one to share with all of your friends, and believe me, you will want all of your friends to read about Jamie and Claire. I highly recommend these books, I can't say enough about this series, just wonderful.

Summary: Poor in comparison to the first and second books.
Review: The whole scenario was annoying and far-fetched with the jewels. The reunion of the two lovers was touching. But everything was ruined by the movement of the storyline setting to the caribbean island. It was just utterly ridiculous and bored me to tears with the whole thing. Did not like this one at all for those reasons.

Summary: The series only gets better...........
Review: First of all, this 3rd book in the Outlander series introduces Major Lord John Grey who is the main character in Diana Gabaldon's new trilogy. I am not a "romance" reader but am completely hooked on this series. The Outlander Series was recommended to me 10 years ago and when I read the discription of the story, I thought, "noooo, not for me". Then it was recommended by another person who just raved about the book. So I picked up a copy of Outlander almost a month ago, then Dragonfly in Amber, now Voyager and haven't put the series down. I absolutely loved reading the historical detail, the growth of respect and love between Claire and Jamie, and the fascinating characters introduced in each book in the series. Who couldn't fall in love with Jamie afterall? It is seldom when an author can make me unconsiously smile and then a few pages later tear. I liked this book more than I did Dragonfly because the intimatcy between Claire and Jamie was left more to the imagination of the reader. This made the story flow more smoothly in my opinion. In addition, this book answered a number of questions left from Dragonfly. This is more than a story of Claire returning to Jamie. It explains what happened to the clansmen during and following the Battle at Culloden. In addition, we find out what happened to Claire and Jamie during the twenty year separation. I felt sad to think that Jamie had not survived after Claire stepped through the stones, even though I knew better because he appears in the next book. Now that's good writing! There is only one issue, just how many more whippings, stabbings, hits over the head, rapes, and shootings is Jamie going to be able to take?

Summary: Getting annoyed with the characters
Review: Basically speaking, this book is not as good as the first two by far. A lot of the excitement and freshness of Jamie and Claire's relationship is not there, and I found myself getting annoyed with many aspects of the book. Overall I would recommend this book for anyone who simply loved the first two, but do not expect the same power from this novel. I would not recommend this book to anyone who thought Dragonfly in Amber was just okay. Reading this book will not add anything special for you.

Summary: Like being in a 18th century tornado! Non-stop action!
Review: The story: Claire finds out that Jamie survived the Battle of Culloden and knows she must join him back in the past. She makes peace with her daughter Brianna, ties up loose ends back at the hospital in Boston, and then returns to Scotland to make the journey through time to 1768, Scotland. Once she gets back to 18th century Scotland, she and Jamie have a few days together and then the adventure begins.
Jamie's nephew, Ian, gets kidnapped by pirates, and Jamie and Claire must sail to the West Indies to find him. Their journey is exciting and frought with peril. The re-joining of Jamie and Claire does not dissapoint.
This book also tells the tale of what happened to Jamie after the Battle of Culloden. It is a tale of such loneliness and tragedy that it will break your heart! It also tells of what happened to Claire after she reappeared in Scotland in 1948 after being gone for 3 years, and her life with Frank and Brianna. This book kinda plays "catch up" for the first few hundred pages. This part of the book is very good, but it does not have the insomnia inducing, page turning qualitites of the first two books. THEN...you get to the adventure once again. Once Claire gets back to Jamie, the story speeds up with a vengence. I mean, come on, arson, sabotage, kidnapping, pirates, voo doo, and hurricanes...what more can you ask for?
This book focuses less on the love story, and more on adventure and story-telling. Alot can be learned about Jamie and Claire from the tales of the 18 years they were apart. Another great part of this book, is seeing the beginnings of the relationship between Roger and Brianna. Make sure, you have Drums of Autumn handy because after finishing this one, you will not want to wait to start the next one! JBogue

Summary: Magnificent!
Review: Wow! I spent 3 days absolutely inhaling the first 2/3 of this book, and I must say that it is my favorite of the three so far. My cousin has been recommending that I read this series, and I finally got started in November. I really can't get enough. The depth of the story and the historicity is really incredible, but the love story of Jamie and Claire is truly spectacular. Though it saddened me that they were apart for 20 years at first, I quickly got over it and sat in one position until I got to the reunion. Jamie in his 20s was something, but I have to say Jamie in his 40s is obsession-inducing. The trials he went through during the years he was apart from Claire has added dimension to the character that has only made him even more covet-worthy. The story, likewise, is very exciting, almost too exciting! It can get a little stressful, but that just keeps me glued to the pages until whatever fiasco Jamie and Claire find themselves embroiled in is over. I am just lost in this book. If you loved Jamie in the first two, you will fall even more in love with him in Voyager. Boy, wouldn't life be great if there were enough Jamies to go around!

Summary: I have decided that I am in love with Jamie Fraser!
Review: Okay..so I realize that Jamie isnt real, but how can you not love him? The things he says to Claire kill me..and that accent!! oooohhh!!! Anyways..this is the first book in the Outlander series that I have not given 5 stars...that's not to say that it wasnt an excellent book..it was, but it failed to move me as deeply as the 2 previous books. I was bothered by some of the things that happened during their separation..one of these things being revealed in the chapter "Daddy" I wont give away what happened, but I just was REALLY sick with Jamie during this section of the book. Also..I found their reunion to be lacking, but maybe that's just me...on the other hand..I really enjoyed the fact that we were able to get into Jamie's head in this book..before, we only knew him through Claire, but in Voyager we're given a closer look. Speaking of Claire, as much as I like her..she's a bit of a B**ch..I didnt care for how judgemental she was towards certain people because of their looks...also...cant these people have even one full day of peace? Anyways...This is definitely worth reading..while I'll admit that I'm going to take a break from this series for awhile..I'm most certainly going to keep on reading till the end...

Summary: The third book
Review: After reading the first two in the series, I am about to sit down to this one. The cliffhanger ending of "Dragonfly In Amber" makes me want to pick it up right away - however, after reading here about Jamie's life after Claire returns to her own time, I'm having second thoughts. Can someone tell me - how traumatic is it? I can't believe that he would be with someone else, even if she DID leave! How is this dealt with? If he falls in love with someone else, or goes to someone else without feeling remorse, I don't think I'll be able to take it. Can the reader manage to forgive him? Please spare me the emotional truma if at all possible! Also, I have to agree with the reader who commented that Claire missed her chance to set the record straight with Jack Randall in "Dragonfly". I wanted to shake her! Come on! Jack may have had Jamie's body in one depraved episode, but that's nothing compared to his soul and the love he and Claire share. Just no competition...
