I started reading this book together with Cindy. A buddy read for August...while we both just finished watching the first season of Outlander. It soon turned into a DNF for Cindy, who just couldn't get into it, and thought the pace was excruciatingly slow. I, however, being a stubborn twat and all, ...
3/5 stars Me and this book had major ups and downs. I found that while reading it I would get totally engrossed in the story, though at times I found it to be ridiculously dramatic. But when I would stop reading for the night it would be over a week before I cared to pick it up again. So how do yo...
An amazing series, so much so that I'm halfway in just over a month! Very interesting historical plot line without being solely about the history - the story it tells is so intriguing it hurts. The characters are so well written and you become so attached it honestly made me cry a few times. Th...
Synopsis The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland t...
Enjoyed the story and time travel. Would have liked to learn more about some characters and found out the ending of others and if it really occurred. Easy to follow though there are a lot of characters. Whatever could go wrong did. Liked Jamie and Clare. Well developed characters. Even the secondary...
It's not every day that i stay up to 3 AM to finish a book. What a page turner and what a story!While reading some of the reviews -good and bad alike- I couldn't help but laugh at the 0 or 1-star reviews and their complete and utter incomprehension of the historical context that the story is set in....
I was always told that romance novels were all, as a rule, highly raunchy, unrealistic, and have nonexistent plots. This is not the case with this book. I could easily see a man getting interested in this book as I could a woman. First, I love the concept. It is highly original, and incredibly uni...
Outlander: Would You Like Some Rape With That Rape? Outlander uses rape like it is literally the only plot device in the world. Need to create some tension? Add a rape threat! Want to show someone is villainous? Make them a rapist! Have to show that 18th century Scotland is dangerous? Rape! Want a...
Everybody seems to be gushing over this book recently, but I found the writing a little too simplistic and certain aspects of the plot hit a few triggers. I decided to try the next book anyway, mainly because it had an interesting title. I think it was too long for what it was. It drags in places ...
I did not realize just how long this book was when I started, or that there were so many of them if I chose to continue the story. Had I known that, I may have reconsidered. Initially set in 1940's, Claire finds a portal to 1700s Scotland and ends up in one scrape after the other, often of her own ...
