I'm currently reading Outlander but I must admit this is my third time at an attempt to read this book, because I prematurely bought the first three books of this series .. I will definitely finish it, but please tell me that it gets better. I'm currently at the part where Claire and Jamie have married.

I REALLY struggled with this book the first time I read it. Then a year later I picked up the second book to read and was hooked. This fall and winter I plan to re-read the series from the beginning for the 3rd time now.
Long? Yes. Slow? Deliciously so. Boring? Never. Gabaldon creates a world in her Outlander series that reminds me of the way Tolkien created Middle Earth. She's an artist with words. If you read for action, Outlander is probably not for you. There is a lot of action, but Gabaldon spends time with life in between. If you read for the magic of falling into a book, than she's perfect. Give her a chance and I think she'll capture you.
