Rating:  Summary: This is the best book I have ever read! Review: It was so refreshing to read about all of the other people who were drawn into this story! I have to say that I lived the book through Claire, and I think Jamie is the perfect man! You can't help but fall in love with him.I hope Diana Gabaldon continues with this series. I would recommend this book to everyone!
Rating:  Summary: Best time travel books I've read to date Review: I have read many books that flirt with the idea of time travel, but Diana Gabaldon has done the best job yet. Her series of books is the best I've read in many years and I'm glad I discovered them after Drums of Autumn was published because I got to read all four in a row. I couldn't put them down, so I don't know if I could have waited patiently for each to be published. Congratualtions on a job well done.
Rating:  Summary: THE BEST Review: Absolutely the best series EVER!!! You must read this - now! I command it!
Rating:  Summary: Terrific, incredible, hard to put down . Have read all four Review: I have read all four books in this series. I am ,b. hoping that Diane has a sequel to Drums of Autum. She left it hanging and I need to know
what happens to Claire and Jamie and family.
This was probably the best series of books I have ever read. All four where very hard to put
down. TERRIFIC!!!!!!!!

Rating:  Summary: More S&M than romance Review: There once was a laddie named Fraser, who bedded a wife, then beat her. All's well in the end - he's buggered, butt not sinned, For Claire didn't marry nae cheater. Lot's of action that lends little to the plot, and there's even more rough sex that detracts from the drawn-out story line. Don't bother unless you're turned on by stories of child and wife beating and graphic, perhaps, homophobic description of male rape.
Rating:  Summary: One of my absolute favorites Review: This book is wonderful, terrific, fantastic... and more. The story of Claire and Jamie is so special. This series has a place in my heart, that1s for sure. I wouldn1t have even thought that it was a romance. And it was so absolutely funny. I was laughing continuously throughout the books, sometimes even so much that I had to put the book down, because Diana Gabaldon1s characters are hilarious in an almost ironic sort of way. I highly recommend this book.
Rating:  Summary: EXCITEMENT FROM PAGE1 TO THE FINAL PAGE. BRAVO. Review: Claire drew the reader into her inner most thoughts,desires and fears. Jamie was every woman's perfect man. All this on the page and it never occured to me that this was a romance novel.NOW THAT IS GREAT ENTERTAINMENT.
Rating:  Summary: An amazing adventure, the right amount of fiction and fact. Review: Its a clasic. From the first line it holds you.Diana Galbaldon mixes the right amount of fact and fiction into the book to keep you informd and guessing at the same time.The immagry is amazing and the charactures are highly realistic. It is defenetly not something you could put down, I have met no equil to its type.
Rating:  Summary: Never before has history,romance & fantasy blended so well. Review: This book blends romance, history and fantasy like never before. Mesmerizing, poltical historical and romantic intrigue. Makes this a hard book to put down. You experience Clarie's
journey as if it were your own. The characters
truly come alive through the vivid descriptions.
Each character has it's own story as well as a
combined one that is interwoven so masterfully
you would think they truly existed on the pages
of our history books. You come to know and love, or hate each character.Claire's time travel
is something I think we all would like to experience . If only for a day , maybe longer.
The author gives you the impression that she has actually experienced all these trials and
tribulations. Diana's comprehensive knowledge
of medicinal herbs adds a special intrigue that
gives a certain insight into life in the 1700's.
You gain a sympathy for what these clansmen,
highlanders endured, what they struggled for and why. After reading this book I became
spoiled by her particular style of writing. Such clarity. I compare to a fine tapesrty, finely
woven with depth , beauty and richly textured
with human emotion. She truly shows the strength, and range of emotions all women have
no matter what time period. There are certain
things time dosen't alter. The will of man and the power of love.
Rating:  Summary: This is a wonderful time machine on paper. Review: The book Outlander was originally recommended to me by word-of-mouth. I was looking for new material and was hooked from the first chapter. The intriguing story combines several elements, each of which would carry a lesser novel singularly. Woven together here amid the rich history of 18th century Scotland, the story takes on the character of an intricate tapestry. This story definitely leaves the reader begging for more. Thank goodness that there is more from this wonderful author. I think that otherwise there is a large group of readers that would go into Outlandish withdrawal. Kudos to an author with an eye to readers with not only a sense of fun and adventure, but a brain as well.
