Summary: Ms. Gabaldon is to be commended!
Review: This book is the first of a series that will carry you away. Once you get into this book, it begins a journey through time and love that you will not want to end. The encompasing story of Jamie and Claire takes you through honorable moments in history and makes you feel a part of it. Diana has written with perfect historical provisions, that help you to enjoy this masterful series even more. I recomend this book to anyone who loves history, romance, and a bit of the unknown. And even if you don't like these things before you pick this book up, you'll be sure to LOVE them afterwards.

Summary: fiction in top form
Review: I strongly recommend this book to all! The characters, plot line, historical accuracy, and the emotions of this novel make it one of the best books I have ever read in my entire life, and definitely my favorite (along with the rest of the series, which is also wonderful). So, if anybody out there is debating reading this excellent series, do yourself a favor and get lost in the world Gabaldon has created. You won't be able to put the books (all of them) down until you are done, and will want more!

Summary: THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!!
Review: I'm a reader from Spain that simply felt in love with Diana's books just in the first chapter of "Outlander". After that, I just need to read the others 3 books of the Outlandish serie and are as good as the first one. I have read them in Spanish but,like american readers, I couldn't stop reading. I remenber specially one night that I was reading ALL NIGHT LONG and I wasn't tired, I swear you. Diana's books touched me so deeply that next month I will go to Scotland to know this wonderful land by mysef. I usually read historical novels but I can assure you that this book has everything you want not only history. It's simply the best I've ever read. I can't wait for the next one!

Summary: GREAT SUMMER READ!
Review: I just finished the last (published to date) book in the series. Prior to this, I had never read a romance-type novel. Theme is married woman transported back in time 200+ years, suffers the indignities that a woman of that period with little position would; meets (and marries) Young Studly Mr. Perfect and fights alongside him, meets villan who looks strangely familiar; makes love every other scene (sometimes twice), gets involved in Scots Clan stuff, ends up playing doctor alot, meets a few interesting characters (some of which may be from another time, too) and ends up jumping back and forth in time (in the series). Don't know if this is typical romance/time-travel fiction, but this is worth getting comfortable to start reading as you will not want to put the book down. I Recommended it to my rather toney reading group. Hope they all enjoy OUTLANDER as much as I did many months ago!

Summary: This is a great story.
Review: I was with my Mom during the last three months of her life, holding her hand as she died, and was so very sad. I walked into the San Francisco Main Public Library and thought," For God's sake and for my own sake, would one of you books shout out to me and take my mind off this terrible grief, even for a little while." I walked over to the shelf and found all four books in this series and checked them out. Since my family is half Scottish, I felt that I had gone home and visited with all the lovely people in my family, long gone,I never thought I'd meet. Sometimes a person needs to just get away for a while to heal, and this humdinger of a story is just what I needed to do that. Hello to all the other people who have written reviews of this series. I wish I knew you. I seem to be needing some kindred spirits right about now. Maybe you can wave to me in your mind's eye. Cheers!!

Summary: Wonderful
Review: I am not a romance reader. In fact, I was quite embarassed to have pulled this novel out of the romance section. I only bought it because my reading group suggested it - and I needed a book. I am so glad I bought Outlander. It took me 5 tries just to start the book. I picked it up and put it down over and over. One night, Outlander called to me. I finished all 600 pages in a little less than 2 days. I either loved or hated the characters. I never knew who to trust or who to believe. Jamie is a true sweetheart. I love this book!

Summary: What a Writer!
Review: Diana Gabaldon's writing is simply genius! I first read Outlander on a whim and ended up staying up until 5:00 in the morning just to finish it! Four years later I have the first four books in the series and they're all taped up along the edges from my having read them over and over again! This girl is desperately waiting for the next book in the series to come out! Kudos to Ms. Gabaldon for her ability to weave historical events, adventure, romance, and her own creativity into a thouroughly satisfying story!
