Summary: The perfect read for when snow-bound all weekend.
Review: Slow starting due to the meticulous attention to detail but builds into a magnificent story. By the end of book four I was thankful that Ms. Gabaldon is so verbose. I never want this series to end. Please tell us that Jamie is modeled after a flesh and blood man...

Summary: A wonderful read
Review: Outlander starts out slow but keep reading the best is yet to come. Opens the door for the other books, which in my opinion are excellent.

Summary: Diana Gabaldan knows how to spin a story, LOVED IT.
Review: I have never been a reader until I turned 42, never finished a book before. Was given Outlander by my sister to read and fell in love with all the characters. This is the first book that I completly read from cover to cover and it had to be over 600 pages. Now I can't seem to put down a good romance book, they can be a rare beast. A good romance author is a gift. Ms D.G. comes through for us. Jamie and Claire' romantic scenes are truly well written. Their first experience on their wedding night was a delight. The pain and torment Jamie lived through nearly broke my heart. Claire was wise to help him through it all. She is one tough cookie. I have read all four of Jamie and Claire's adventures. Jamie is one hunk of a man, Claire is truly lucky. What's next for the Frazer Clan.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: Although it took me more time to get into this book. Once I did I loved it. It was very hard to put down. When I was done I felt like I learned alot. There was sometimes much to much detail. This was a great read. I am looking forward in continuing the series.

Summary: Scottish romance at it's best!
Review: If only I could travel back in time to meet that man, Jamie! Wow! I am not a huge fan of Romance, but this book has really changed my outlook! Diana Gabaldon has done an incredible job writing this novel, and I look forward to reading the rest in the series. Even if you are not a fan of Romance, give this book a try, and enjoy!

Summary: I'm in love with a fictional guy!!
Review: I don't read romance novels - or at least I didn't until this one came to my attention! I usually read what I like to call "good" literature, but this book and its sequels made me think it was time to take up romance novels. WRONG! A quick perusal of other novels in this category convinced me that only Diana Gabaldon's efforts are worth reading. Gabaldon's Jamie, or should I say Claire's Jamie, is the type of man every man wants to be and every woman wants to have. Yes, I know Jamie's too everything - virile, intelligent, gorgeous, sensitive - you know, the kind of man who can be beaten within an inch of his life and making love to Claire a couple days later. Gabaldon has convinced me to willingly suspend my disbelief, nay, even more. So what do I do now? I've already polished off all of the series and re-read "Outlander." I'll remain in mourning until the next addition arrives! Please tell me there'll be a next one.

Summary: Where have all the Scottish Lairds gone?
Review: I'm not really a romance novel reader, but after hearing and reading so much about this book I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did. This is a romance novel that transcends the genre: the heroine is intelligent, independent, and lovably flawed; the hero has sense of humor and an endearing vulnerability. One of the most vivid and enjoyable characters in the book is Captain "Black Jack" Randall; even though I hated him I found him perversely compelling. In a way he reminded me of Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter - repugnant and frightening but sexy at the same time. Get the book. Read it. Fall in love with it. You'll want to buy a copy for every woman friend you have.

Summary: An excellent yarn.
Review: I am looking forward to reading the sequels. Really love the characters, and witty dialogue.

Summary: MY OWN PERSONAL SCOTTISH ESCAPE
Review: This was by far the BEST book I have ever read. Diane is the most imaginative writer I have ever read. This was my own personal escape..so much so that after reading this book I took a trip to Scotland. Everything was as I had imagined it and how Diane described. I am now finishing the 4th book, Drums of Autumn, but Outlander is, in my oppion, is the best. Only because that is where all the magic started.

Summary: A great read that draws you in so you never want to leave.
Review: I was bored at work and a friend lent me "Outlander" only if I swore to give it back with no drool marks. Intrigued, I started the book that minute. I couldn't put it down until the very end. When I finished it I felt a deep sense of "More, give me more"! I have never met such wonderful characters in such a vivid setting and under such page gripping circumstances. Now I've read all four books and still want "MORE". I want to see Claire and Jamie grow old and I think you will too.
