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?

Gabaldon tells a story full of details, takes you down paths that may or may not lead somewhere, and introduces scads of characters with interesting stories of their own. If you don't like that format, go ahead and give up. You will miss the lushness of this total experience. It's more like a sumptuous meal that you savor not fast food, who dunnit fare.
This is one of the few times Claire and Jamie have a day to day existence together. But they're both a mess because of what's happened. Anyway, now the lazy can watch the STARZ series and bypass the books. Sigh. (less)
