Blazed through Book 1 and 2. Had to put them aside because I was starting think with a Scottish accent. Read a few other books and then jumped back in and read 3 and 4. Still loving them. Started book 5 and only made it half-way through. Got very boring. Have not been able to get back into it and I really want to finish the series. Maybe some day!!
Absolutely loved the first one. Even shed a tear! It is very well researched as much more than just a romance / historical fiction. I usually don’t read romance. This book is amazing.
I love them, and I have read multiple times. I am of Scottish descent. My mother was a 1st generation American. I have learned so many things about Scotland and the people of Scotland. Diana Gabaldon is a marvelous writer. Anxiously waiting for Book #9!
I was not a fan either. You either love them, or you don’t. I’m excited when there’s gritty Scottish history, but the romance ruined it for me. I struggled through the first part of the book, slammed her shut, and picked up Jack Whyte’s – Forest Laird, and got my fix?
It has been many years since I read the book. I started the series and got as gar as The fiery Cross. I thought the author’s use of words to describe, to converse, and to draw me into this story were wonderful. In the future I want to go back and reread and then finish the entire series.
It’s my very favorite series ever! I don’t re-read books, but I’ve re-read these. The characters become like family, and I honestly miss them when I’m not engrossed in the series.
Sharon I hear ya. I am in book clubs and I can hardly pull myself away from Outlander books and read something else. I was late to the books and show. My sister kept telling me and I didn’t bite. Now I watched the 4 seasons and read the 4 books. Going back and forth rereading and rewatching episodes. My sister and husband have had to do an intervention. Lol. Hubby likes it too but won’t admit it. Anyway I am band till I get my taxes ready and work done. Lol
@Sue taxes need to be prepared for my accountant. Plus I am a realtor so starting to get busy. Anyway I will get thru it. Not sure once done with 4 if I will want to read 5 till after I see season 5. Books tend to be better but I understand the need to have the series have high points each episode. So may wait even though my sister has given me all of her books till 9. Which Diana says will be coming soon.
@Sue it is good too. If you have Starz it is worth the watch. They change it up a bit. So it is nice to see how the book is different. I think Stars is offers free sometimes for 30 days. So I know some friends that have binged the show during the free time.
@Elizabeth thank you I’m enjoying it so far I don’t want to put it down. I don’t work but I have to clean my house before my husband gets home and cook supper for him and the kids.
Tried. Could not get interested.
that’s what I said… idk if i want to even start it…

I think they are great, but I’ve been reading them for years. I’m not sure it could live up to the hype at this point.
if you love scotland, read the first one. after that they leave
They never even tempted me.
Loved every word of all 8 books.

I read like 5 and kinda lost interest. It was the same thing over and over after book 3…..
I loved the first one but had a hard time getting through the sequels
@Ann yea…we get it….trouble follows Jaime….and he’ll always figure it out….while Claire doubts their ability to survive…???
I had a hard time getting into it but after almost 300 pages I loved it and have watched season 1 and 2 now
Read it and listened to it. No doubt you have to read it!

@Elizabeth sounds amazing!
I am on book 4
Love them!!!
@Sue haven’t started book 4 yet cuz I need to get stuff done. I am self employed and that is dangerous when you are obsessed! Lol
@Elizabeth– I am retired…. best thing ever for a Grandma and a reader!!!
I do understand your position ❤️
Hope you get to read more very soon!!

@Elizabeth we don’t have stars. I’ll get to see it one of these days.
@Sue it is worth it. They did a good job. The author thinks They did too.
Thank you!!
@Sue , Netflix, May 18 or 19? Just announced last week( April).
@Jan – Thank you so much for letting me know. Sadly, we do not have Netflix at the moment!
I just started reading them. I’m still on the first book but so far it’s a good series
@Elizabeth 1st is my favorite so Far. But the rest are great too.
@Elizabeth thank you I’m enjoying it so far I don’t want to put it down. I don’t work but I have to clean my house before my husband gets home and cook supper for him and the kids.
Just started reading book 2 and am about to quit. To slow for my taste. I don’t know if I will pick it back up.
@Carolina it gets better! I felt exactly like you in book 2. It improves about half way through and book 3 is a page turner!
read the entire series and I LOVE it.
LOVED IT!!! I recommend it to all
They have been recommended several times but I’ve never read…historical fiction and mystery?
Only seen the series. Book is probably much better! Also want to read it
Love the series! Waiting for the nexr!
