I checked this book out because the Gabaldon's books kept coming through circulation. I thought, "She must be good, a lot of people at this library read her books." What I didn't know is that the publisher is disguising her novels as regular old fiction when really they're romance novels. I got about midway through the book and these crazy sexual encounters started popping up...by that time I couldn't stop reading. And I actually liked the book...I even checked out another of her books. Outlande

Uh-oh, here I go again falling in love with a book that happens to be part of a series. Incredibly long, but it pulls you in so well you can barely notice it's length, you never want this book to end. My only negative comment would probably be that it almost had too much action. Of course the whole premise of the book is time travel, so it is completely unbelievable fromt he begining, but I feel like all the action made it seem even more unreal. I can't wait to get to the next one.

I would give it four stars if I hadn't struggled with the first half so much. The 2nd half, I loved. It took me so long to get through a lot of it. Plus I found it annoying that she 'accepted' she might get beat by her husband 'for her own good'. I guess it fits with the time she went to but it was disconcerting.

This is a fun historical romance in which a nurse is transported through time to the 17th century and has to create a life there. The research is spot on and the few smutty scenes are actually quite witty and light-hearted. It's just a fun ride, nothing more.

Good read.... It was a slog though. Slow readers and big books - don't go so well! :( But I loved it and took it slow. The characters seem well developed, the story interestingand captivating... can't wait to test out another by Gabaldon!

I actually listened to this and LOVED it. The narrator is amazing and the book itself just leaves you begging for more!
OK, so I didn't actually finish it...but that says it all right there. Really just didn't care for it.
