Outlander

Summary: The best book I have ever read.
Review: Myself and several other people in our office all read Outlander as well as Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, and Drums of Autumn. We still talk about the books and are waiting impatiently for 1999 so that we can get the next book. As a matter of fact, I just bought the audio tape of Dragon Fly in Amber to re-listen to it. I still get the same feeling that I know Jamie and Claire personally, as when I first read it. Diana Gabaldon is the best author I have ever read.

Summary: The standard by which you should measure all romance novels.
Review: Believe it or not, an elderly friend recommended Outlander to me. I loved it!! I have read all of Ms. Gabaldon's novels. She has given us a rich mixture of history, romance , adventure and time travel. I fell in love with a dream named Jamie Frazier and my husband thanks you.

Summary: "Unputdownable"
Review: I read Diana Gabaldon's Outlander (or Cross Stitch as it was called in UK)on the recommendation of the lady who works in my local bookstore. I was hooked completely, and before long, the other three were firmly in my clutches. I felt as though I was there, like a fly on the wall, watching the two main characters'(Claire and Jamie's) lives unfold. Roll on 1999 when the story continues in "Cross of Fire" I believe it will be called (in UK anyway).

Summary: Best book I've ever read,and want more Jamie & Claire.
Review: This is my all time favorite book. I was going on a 2 week work trip to New York and saw Drums of Autumn. It was a really big book and the scottish topic looked interesting. I had never heard of Diana Gabaldon or the rest of the series. I read the book, discovered it was part of a series and had to go get the rest of the books as soon as I got home. Even though I read the last one first I still loved every book. I read through each book wanting to get to the end but not wanting to because it would be over. It drove my husband crazy when I picked up the books, all I wanted to do was read. My favorite was Outlander. I rarely read books over but I have read Outlander again and still enjoyed it. Even though I am an avid reader, I've never felt this way about a book before. You can't help but fall in love with Jamie , their story stays with you, I found myself thinking of them often. When is the next book? I hope that Jamie and Claire will be a big part of it.

Summary: The best I've ever read!!!
Review: I've read the other reviews and I find it amusing to see that the few individuals who did not enjoy this book all seem to have limited reading skills. Anyone who has read over at least 500 novels would reconize this book for the masterpeice it is. I have read A LOT of books and this one is great. My only problem was the fourth book, I feel that I didn't love and care for the new characters as much as I did Jamie and Claire. Other than that this the book is awsome.

Summary: I couldn't put it down. It just enthralled me to the end.
Review: When I first began reading Outlander, I thought that there could have never been a better book that i have read before in all my days of reading. I felt that Diana Gabaldon truly understood what readers were looking for in a work of fiction where romance, fantasy, adventure, and entertainment was concerned. I feel that this was one of the best and most entertaining of all stories that i have ever read. The scope of time travel was excellent and the story keep me in suspense every time. I just couldn't put it down and I can't wait to get my hands on the others. This book truly took my breath away. I never enjoyed a book so much.

Summary: Best Book I've Ever Read
Review: I came upon this book by accident, and have been a fan of Diana Gabaldon ever since! Romantic, thrilling and cathartic, this book is a real page turner. I recommended the book to a friend who also loved it, but her husband was even more thankful that I did. He said it added zing to their sex life for months! I know Jamie Fraser is my ideal dream man.

Summary: Wonderful historical drama/romance/fantasy
Review: I was first persuaded to read this book by a friend. I was sceptical, to say the least, as I immediately identified it as a 'romantic novel' and therefore not to my taste at all. How wrong I was! The characterisation in the book is superb - the storyline is excellent, and you simply CANNOT PUT IT DOWN. Other reviewers have said that, as Outlander (which was retitled 'Crossstitch' in the UK) contains time-travelling, it MUST be a science fiction book. Well it's not. In my opinion it defies ANY classification - it's not sci-fi, not fantasy, not romantic novel, not historical drama - it IS a mixture of all of them, and a damn good book. Go out and buy it - preferably in hardback, as you'll want to read it again and again.

Summary: A FUNtastic Story
Review: This series of books is incredible. I read them so fast one after the other. I can't wait for her newest one to come out....hopefully in January 1999. I found myself so wrapped up in every character and loving all the history to the point of visiting Scotland last spring. Diana Galbaldon does a great job of describing everything to the point of the reader actually seeing it for themselves. If anyone wants to email me to chat, I'd love to hear from you.

Summary: Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! The best ever
Review: I have read all the series of the Diana Gabaldon books they are best time traveling books I have ever read! I would reccomend any and all of these books to anyone to read. She keeps your attention threw the whole book, and makes you want to pick up the next volume as soon as you are done with the first. Had to wait a few years for the last book to come out but it was worth the wait for me. Truly an outstanding author of our times.
