Summary: Excelent!!
Review: When I brought this book with me on a weekend to the beach I had no intention of reading it. But as it happened it rained the whole time and to ocupy my time I read this wonderful book. Ms. Gabaldon is an excelent author and she makes you believe that you are really living in the book. For me this book is up there with Crocodile on the Sandbank, Excelent Work.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great read, adventure, magic, romance, history.
Review: This is one of those books that makes my kids wonder about me. I guess there is nothing more embarrasing than having a "soccer mom" snickering while she reads a book by the sidelines of the practice field. This book had me laughing out load and wiping my eyes. What a great summer escape to the Scottish Highlands. The characters of Jamie and Claire, Frank and Jack are fleshed out in amazingly rich detail and color.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: One of my most frequently recommended books!
Review: My copy of Outlander is quite tattered after being passed from one friend to another. I'm a trashy romance novel junkie, so I have spent A LOT of time convincing friends who scoff at romance to give this series a try -- and so far no one has been disappointed. Indeed, I often lament that this is categorized as "romance" since it goes far beyond what is traditionally considered to be a romance novel.

One friend borrowed Outlander just before I left for a short trip. After reading this novel in about two days, she was so impatient to get her hands on the rest, that she went out and bought them all rather than borrowing mine!

The characters are realistic, engrossing, and memorable. Even though the time-travel premise is so improbable, Gabaldon carries you away with her storyline and makes you suspend your disbelief. The plot is so gripping that you simply cannot put the book down until you are done. And even then you might not succeed -- as you're probably too busy rereading your favorite scenes! These characters will stay with you for a long time. It's easy to identify with Claire -- a thoroughly modern woman -- and Jamie is flawed just enough to be perfectly imperfect. Fortunately, through the series you get to watch them evolve and mature over time.

I re-read the first three (in about two weeks) before devouring the fourth, and still I'm impatiently waiting for The Fiery Cross. In short, I loved this book (and the others as well) so much that when I visited the Scottish highlands I dragged my friend from one stone circle to another hoping I would fall into Claire and Jamie's world!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ!!
Review: This was one of those books you absolutely can't put down! There were a few nights that I could not stop reading it. I then went the day after I finished the book and got the next one in the series. This is a book that you'll remember the content and especially the characters for years to come. You do not need to be a "fan" of historical romance before you read this as I was not. But once you've read the series you will search those historical romance sections for something just as endearing, but you won't find one!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A romance novel for history buffs and people "who don't read
Review: I first read Outlander when it first came out in paperback and was hooked! Jamie Fraser became my ultimate hero. When Dragonfly came out, I gave the first book to one of my friends and started a chain of Gabaldon fans at th school I work in. Being of Scottish descent, the history grabbed me. Being a hopeless romantic, Jamie and Claire's story enthralled me. I just wish Ms. Gabaldon would write faster! I have purchased at least four copies of this book and they all seem to disappear (new fans won't give them up!) I heartily recommend this to anyone who loves history, Scotland,and romance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Captivating, Heartwarming and Absorbing
Review: I noticed there are over 300 reviews already wrtten on this book. From what I can see everyone gives this book 5 stars. I have to say I agree completely. It held my interest from beginning to end, and I didn't want it to end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellant totally captivating
Review: This is an excellant book the first of an excellant can't put down series you will be totally captivated by the events that unfold and you will be laughing crying and wanting more when the book ends. A must read. You will be waiting for the fifth in the series as I am.
