Summary: Sleepless in Texas
Review: I found Outlander one day at the bookstore several years ago when I was looking for something different to read. I read the preview of the book and was immediately intrigued. Since then I have read the three sequels and have thoroughly enjoyed each one. I am an avid reader but I do believe the Outlander series is and probably always will remain my favorite. I have read each book of the series three times and still have not grown tired of them. I look forward to the next in the series! Diana - you do have a way with words

Summary: Great combination of the past & present!!
Review: The book "Outlander" is a fast paced book combining the present and the past. I liked the way the author switched back ands forth from the different time periods. The writer also used common sense in daeling with "things or knowledge" that could be applied from the present to the past. I highly recommend this book and it's sequels

Summary: I cannot enjoy any other author any longer!!!
Review: Diana Gabaldon has pulled off the literary coup that only parrells Stephen King. Once I started "Outlander", I couldn't stop until I had read "Dragonfly in Amber". Then, after reading both of these books over and over and over..."Voyagers" finally, finally came out...and after waiting rather impatiently for the "Drums of Autumnn" to come out...sigh... it CAME!!! At the bookstore where I purchased my book, all I had to ask was "Has the Drums of....." and I received a quick answer of "No!!!" "It's been moved out...again!" I have a truely difficult enjoying other authors now, they just don't seem to compare.....Thank you Diana Gabaldon

Summary: A BREATH TAKING ESCAPE FROM THE PRESENT!!!!!!!
Review: I HAD THE PRIVELEGE OF LISTENING TO ALL 4 BOOKS ON TAPE. THE AUTHOR AND THE PERFORMANCE OF GERALDINE JAMES TOGETHER WAS A BREATHTAKING ADVENTURE THAT REMOVES YOU SO INNOCENTLY FROM THE STRESSES OF TODAY AND PIVOTS YOU INTO A TIME OF UNDYING PASSION AND THE LONGING TO ABSORB ALL THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT JAIME AND CLAIRE AND EVERYONE ENVOLVED IN THE STORY. ALAS WE MUST WAIT TILL 1999 FOR MS. GABALDON'S NEXT BOOK AND I PRAY THAT MS. JAMES IS THE SAME PERFORMER. SHE HAS THE MOST SPLENDID VOICES AND FOLLOWS THE ACCENTS OF EVERY CHARACTER WITH SUCH PRECISSION YOU ACTUALLY FEEL ALIVE IN THE STORY

Summary: THIS IS NOT A "ROMANCE" NOVEL!!!
Review: I just can't figure out why this is classed as a "Romance" novel. I don't read romance novels. This book is fiction and darn good fiction at that. The only gripe I might have is that it is so good that I could hardly stop reading! The entire Outlander Series is fantastic and I can't wait for the next one

Summary: Two parts history, one part romance equals non-stop read
Review: Little time to read means I need to be grabbed fast, educated and entertained, all at the same time. Diana Gabaldon's Outlander does just that. Her intense research into Scotland along with her ability to spin a tale draws you into a world of human emotion and suspense. The escapades of Jamie and love of Claire propels you through the first book and on to the fourth. A book I've read and shared until the book has fallen apart

Summary: excellent read with engaging theme and characters! Super!
Review: The premises and characters of this now-series are surprising, completely engaging and well-founded historically. If one's interest is in the realm of Brittish or Scottish history, this series will surprise and transport you along with the primary characters into the peat-smoked rooms of history. The botanical, sociological and ethnic research tie well into the historical tapestry of which the reader is certainly a part

Summary: A Brilliant Book Can Sure Come in Handy
Review: I bought Outlander a couple years ago at a Heathrow airport newsstand, to take my mind off the flight I was about to get on. That day there had been terrorist threats somewhere and I was convinced that I was going to die. But by the time the plane left the runway I was totally engrossed in the novel, and hardly realized I was on a plane the entire flight home. Diana Gabaldon writes books which can instantly transport you to another time and place, as quickly as magically walking through ancient standing stones. I probably would not have bought Outlander if I had realized it was a romance novel, as I had never read one before out of embarrassment. But now I am very grateful for my mistake, and I have enjoyed the following books in the Outlander series very much

Summary: Reality bites!
Review: ... and when it does, there are books like Outlander! Your friends will have an intervention for you and sign you up with Fiction-aholics Anonymous! I couldn't put it down, and now, with bleary, triple-vision, I am groping for the keyboard to buy the sequel ... Help! Great characters, a narrative style that puts you THERE in the 18th century, and fascinating plot twists - it will ambush you and hold you for ransom. No book has done this to me in a long time!
