A Goodreads user asked this question about Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander, #2):
I am on page 160 and can someone please tell me whether or not this book is worth reading? I really enjoyed Outlander and I had very high hopes for this book, however, chapter after tedious chapter of Claire and Jamie and their boring day to day existence in Paris is not very encouraging?
Ila My goodness! The majority of the comments below state total boredom with "Dragonfly" and I don't understand this. This is the book I read first becaus…moreMy goodness! The majority of the comments below state total boredom with "Dragonfly" and I don't understand this. This is the book I read first because I didn't know there were any others. Upon finishing it, I tore through the Amazon site and found "Outlander", Now, many years later, I have read all eight of them several times, (some, more often than others), and I remain a devoted fan of Diana Gabaldon. She is currently writing book #9 and I can hardly wait. I'm sorry to hear so many of you are in such a hurry, don't understand the politics involved or just get bored easily, because 'Dragonfly" is an integral part of the story and well worth reading. Hang in there, you'll be glad you did.(less)
