Outlander (Outlander, #1) in True Book Talk

Jan 16, 2011 The Lit Bitch rated it it was amazing · review of another edition

This book is a flawless, breath taking read. An absolute must read for historic fiction fans. There is a little something in this book for everyone....romance, time travel, history, action, adventure....everything. This book is outstanding. It is a little long but don't let the length fool you....and when I was done reading I found myself feeling like I had just read an epic adventure but it never one drug, felt boring, or too long. Exquisite!

I started reading the Outlander series when it was first released in 1991 and from the first page I was immersed in this great time travel story. Granted the books in the series are huge but the writing is such that the length of the book passes into insignificance as the pages turn. What could be better in a novel than standing stones, castles and men in kilts??
