Although it is very long, it reads incredibly fast leaving you wanting for more. Luckily I started the series after five of the books were written and was able to keep reading and reading. This series is not just a typical romance but includes some history, mystery and even a bit of magic. The characters are well developed and very interesting. Each book leaves you wanting to know more about them and what’s going to happen next. A great read! (  ) jpolak | Dec 18, 2009 |  I have to admit the idea of reading a historical fiction novel didn't set well with me. However after a bit of arm twisting from my mother I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and read the book. One of the best decision I've made in my 22 years of living. The books are so large and intimidating and they only get bigger...thank goodness! Diana Gabaldon's talent for writing is astounding! I can't wait to get my hands on the second book in the series. ( ) BooGirl | Dec 17, 2009 | i am about to drive to b&n to buy the next one, dragonfly in amber. that last happened with robert goolrick. good sign! i'm excited! ( ) bookscentlover | Dec 6, 2009 | It took me about 4 months to finish this book... once I was convinced to start it! Not being a real fan of "bodice-rippers" I was concerned about some of the reviews that I had read, and yet at the same time I was intrigued by the idea and the setting of the book. Well, I was right to be concerned. This is truly a historical romance with plenty of love scenes (fairly explicit) and incessant "I love you, no I love you more..." dialogue. But for all that I still enjoyed the story, and fully intend to continue reading the series. The settings and characterizations are very strong and Ms. Gabaldon has hooked me into her world so that I want to find out what happens to the protagonists. Recommended for those interested in 1700's Scottish/English history. (  ) kcs_hiker | Dec 6, 2009 | I finally read this after yet another person recommended it to me. I had heard it was a romance novel, which completely turned me off. Then someone else told me it was more of a historical saga, so when I found it at a used book sale, I picked it up. Well, it WAS interesting to learn about the Highlanders, since I know next to nothing about Scottish history. The whole love story, though - gah. No thanks. I couldn't take any more of the stereotypes: strong, dominating male figures, swooning women, etc. I won't be reading any more of the books in this series.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0440222915, Mass Market Paperback)In Outlander, a 600-page time-travel romance, strong-willed and sensual Claire Randall leads a double life with a husband in one century, and a lover in another. Torn between fidelity and desire, she struggles to understand the pure intent of her heart. But don't let the number of pages and the Scottish dialect scare you. It's one of the fastest reads you'll have in your library.While on her second honeymoon in the British Isles, Claire touches a boulder that hurls her back in time to the forbidden Castle Leoch with the MacKenzie clan. Not understanding the forces that brought her there, she becomes ensnared in life-threatening situations with a Scots warrior named James Fraser. But it isn't all spies and drudgery that she must endure. For amid her new surroundings and the terrors she faces, she is lured into love and passion like she's never known before. I was lame and sore in every muscle when I woke next morning. I shuffled to the privy closet, then to the wash basin. My innards felt like churned butter. It felt as though I had been beaten with a blunt object, I reflected, then thought that that was very near the truth. The blunt object in question was visible as I came back to bed, looking now relatively harmless. Its possessor [Jamie] woke as I sat next to him, and examined me with something that looked very much like male smugness."Gabaldon creates characters that you'll remember, laugh with, cry with, and cheer for long after you've finished the book. --Candy Paape (retirado da Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:13 -0400) O primeiro ciclo de testes foi encerrado.
