Outlander

Summary: Outlander is in my top three best ever reads
Review: This is a first book of an incredible series. I recommend it to anyone who loves romance and history. There has never been a soul, who I've given this book to who didn't instantly fall in love with Jamie and Claire and want to finish the other three. An absolute must have!

Rating:
Summary: I Can REALLY Get Into This!
Review: A romance novel? No way is Outlander deserving of so lowly a title! This is an epic romantic saga sweeping hearts and centuries into a fiery ecstasy. I applaud Gabaldon's use of the first person as well. I can't wait to read the others in this series!

Rating:
Summary: Exciting, believable, romantic!
Review: Never before have I read such a book! This is a book you cannot put down until you've finished it and then you're so sorry it's over. The characters become a part of your life and you long to know more about them. This story is so believable that I wonder if Diana Gabaldon has truly experienced going back in time and knowing and loving a noble man like Jamie. I look forward to all of her novels and I read them voraciously. I hope she continues this series forever.

Summary: Deliciously, superbly, outstanding reading
Review: If I could have given this book and the other three presently in the series TEN stars, I would have!!All four books in Diana's Gabaldon's "Outlander" series are the best read I have ever had!! It's not so much reading, as actually traveling to ancient Scotland and reliving history through a cast of characters that literally jump off the pages at you. The "stars" of the book, Jaime and Claire, make one feel as if you actually know them!! The author's tremendously talented way of interweaving past and present is unsurpassed and each book has been a true delight to read. Please Diana. . .hurry up with number FIVE!!

Summary: Ms Gabaldon's books are well reseached & readable
Review: This story grabs you from the start! Little glimses of what takes place further along in the story tantalize and lead you on. You really get to care about the characters and want to learn more about them!...thankfully there are three more books in the story...and another yet to come! Just remember to keep a calendar and a clock next to you as you read!!! :-)

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I almost never read romances but felt like a change of pace so I picked this one up. Wow! What a great story and not your usual same plot romance novel. Oh, Jamie.............what a man!

Rating:
Summary: Without a doubt, the best love story ever!!!
Review: Outlander is THE definitive book about "soul mates." Jamie and Claire (*sigh*) are simply what everyone wants their relationship to be like: unconditional love, intense, all consuming without falling into the trap of frightening obsessiveness. Gabaldon has captured something so heart-wrenching and, simply put, beautiful. She has such avid, obsessive, and loyal readers, because the characters are extremely lovable and real that you expect to lift your head from reading her books and see them alive right in front of your eyes. The preceeding books are marvelous as well, but this one is unbelievable. Jamie is the ultimate man. I know everyone out there would give anything to find their own Jamie or Claire. There are not enough superlatives for this book. I hope the 5th installment concentrates mainly on Jamie and Claire and does not digress too much on secondary characters as the other books, but I'll take them anyway I can get them. Great job Diana! You are the best!

Summary: The Greatest Book I have ever read!!!!
Review: Diana Gabaldon takes you through so many twists and turns, that you wish you were born in Scoland in the 1700's. This is the type of book that you want to read over and over, you find so many new things each time!!!

Summary: Spellbinding, one by one all four books draw you in.
Review: I got Outlander on loan from a friend, and found myself needing the next before she got a chance to bring it to work. I went out and purchased the set of four and have reread them and loaned them out in between. Jamie has become a part of this twenty first century nurse's life,too. I have always loved this style of book but there are few words to really express the all encompassing thrill of running through the heather and smelling the fresh clean,preindustry air with these delightful and vibrant characters. They beckon you to delve through the stones.....

Summary: Outlander is captivating; every page is a treasure!
Review: Outlander is the first book of one of the most outstanding series you will ever read! Whether you prefer adventure, sci-fi/fantasy, romance, or historical novels, this book will appeal to you! Diana Gabaldon is a genius, and I am envious of her talent with words and ability to paint scenarios so intense, vivid and colorful that reading her novels is like watching a movie! The remaining books in this series are of equally high quality - each and every sentence is interesting, and the entire series is packed with action, drama, and movement.
