Summary: Incredible story for either sex
Review: This is an absoutely wonderful story. I've read the first four books so far & can't wait to read the last one. In the mean time, I'm reading Outlander again! My husband is planning on reading it also.There is supposted to be another book comming out soon & possible a 7th. I've been to Gabaldon's web site & she's debating on a movie. Most of her fans can't wait to see this story on the big screen. Personally, I think Outlander is the best one so far!

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This is one of the best romance novels I have ever read. Nothing I have read since quite measures up. If you like non-cheesy romances and historical fiction, then you will love this book. The characters are so well delveloped and the historical accounts taught me quite a bit about scottish history. I fell in love with Jamie just as Claire did. I finished the last in the series this summer and still miss him. Diana Gabaldon is truly a talented writer!

Summary: extraordinary love story
Review: This is the incredible story of a woman who travels back in time and is forced to marry a man for her own protection. Sounds pretty straightforward and kind of like a silly romance novel right? WRONG.

Claire's journey through the stones and her friendship and then marriage with Jamie is one of the most affecting stories I've ever read. I started reading Outlander on Dec 30, 2004. Thirty days and 4976 pages later I was done with the fifth book of this series, The Fiery Cross, and I wanted to cry because there was nothing left to read. I don't know what I will do with myself waiting for the sixth book and I truly sympathize with the readers who had to wait years between books.

Outlander introduces us to Jamie and Claire while they are still learning about the love that will bind them forever - even when they might be seperated by time itself. While I would not consider this book to be a romance novel it IS an extraordinary love story that segues into the excellent historical fiction and adventure to follow.
