Very well written and a pretty compelling read. Also very dense. I do think some of the scenes got a bit too repetitive after a bit, so there were time when things seemed to drag a bit.

Outlander is a mix of historic and fantasy written by legendary writer Diana Gabaldon. It was originally published in 1991 as a stand-alone book, but the second book, “Dragonfly in Amber” was written a year later. Outlander is set in the…

Movie's are better than the book. That's a first. Books are too tedious with all her distributions. Page's and page's to tell what is on a table for example or how someone feels.

I enjoyed the entire series. There was fabulous character development and rich descriptions throughout the series. It was so well written that you could easily envision the environment.

My favorite series of all time starts right here. Gabaldon is a fabulous writer, researcher, and heartbreaker. This novel starts out kinda slow, but stick with it (and the other 8 Big Books) and you will have a story that combines real…

I really love this series. Yes, it's long, but if you love historical fiction and fantasy, this series is for you!

I was excited to start this series but ended up incredibly disappointed. The writing style was boring, slow, and too verbose for me. Lost interest and did not finish.

One might say that I’m arriving a little late to the Highlands table. Join me for a bowl of stew and a mug of ale with lairds, ladies, spies, warriors, witches, outlaws, Jacobites, and Redcoats in this time-traveling, romantic, historical…

I’m a huge. The Outlander is a wonderful story with time travel, humor, grief, love, warfare, history, and dynamic characters. This is such a fun series! I’ve enjoyed the first five books and intend to keep going to the end, this…

Interesting concept, and way to learn about daily life centuries ago and some history. Longer than expected and wanted, due to diminishing returns. The male lead is unexpextedly progressive and idealized compared to his fellow…

An entertaining episode of fiction and history The Outlander by Diana Gabaldon provides a good story, but only that. With all the fan fare that surrounded the book, there tends to be a higher standard that is accompanied to justify the…

Undoubtedly one of my favorite authors and best series of books I've ever read. The Outlander series on STARZ does not follow the books exactly, but it's so great to see her characters and stories come to life on the screen!

I felt like there were a lot of parts in this book that were unnecessary and didn't add to the story. With that being said, I still enjoyed the characters and the book as a whole. Will probably not read the others in the trilogy though.

I really don't understand why this is such a highly rated book. The writer's style is very verbose, except when she skips over events that don't seem to follow logic. Consistency of the characters is also somewhat below average. The…

Not a historical fiction fan but love romance? This book (series) has it all! Get ready to travel through time with Claire Fraser and her one true love Jamie.
