I had read this several years back and never moved on... silly me.
So, I decided to re-read this (listening to the Audible) in preparation to read the series (and maybe watch the show... I haven't gotten a Starz subscription yet).
This is a wonderful historical romance with the added twist of time travel. A nice twist is the fact the heroine who does the time travelling isn't from our time, she's from just after WWII. This brings a nice double layering of the historical novel.

Reading this book was quite an experience for me. It was more than just a book written by an author. It was a beautiful world created by an artist. And she did more than just tell a story; she took me on a journey. A beautiful, romantic, funny, touching, heart-wrenching, soul-searching journey.
Jamie and Claire's love story was an incredible one. Their love was slow to come and once it did, it was all-encompassing, deep-rooted, and absolutely breathtaking. I loved their relationship!

I enjoyed the story but I found it to be a tad too long. I would have been perfectly happy to see the story end a little sooner then it did. Will I read the others? Not really sure, as I'm happy to see it as a stand alone, (view spoiler) ...more

I feel like maybe I read a different book than everyone else who just adored this one. I didn't care for it at all. It was way, way too long for one thing. Could have been shortened by at least 500 pages, and probably been much improved. But even then, I didn't really like the writing style, so while I may have liked it slightly better if it was shorter, it still isn't for me.
