I personally could not get through the first one. I got about 1/3 of the way in, and struggled with staying awake because I felt she rambled a lot. I know a lot of people love them, but her writing style was just not my thing. I hope you love it!

I felt the same way. Only got about 150 pages in.

I feel the same way, I’m at page 110 and have only been able to read a couple pages at a time. I’m getting annoyed every time she calls Jamie “My patient,” please we all know what’s going to happen, just saying

I have read quite a few of them and enjoyed them. I got a little burnt out and just haven’t managed to get back to them. I need to start reading them again – the tv series has caught up with where I stopped! ?

I loved it! But the beginning is kinda slow. Once you get past the first few chapters you’ll be hooked!

I love Outlander. I am on the 5th book now. I will say that it does sometimes take me an embarrassingly long time to get through the books. First, simply because of just how long they are. And sometimes they are bogged down by too many details, etc. But I really love the characters and the storyline so I keep wanting to know what happens next. I love the TV series as well.

I’ve read books 1-4 and I loved them but I’ve been stuck on book 5 for 6 years now having a hard time getting through that one.

Read the first one, meh; gave up on second one after 100 pages. Not my cup of tea. My sister, on the other hand (who kept nagging me to read the series) re-read from the first book, every time a new book was due to come out. She really liked the series. She’s also a much faster reader than I am.

I read the whole series well before Jamie Fraser became an obsession of many women (and some men) around the world ? Enjoyed all of them.

Loved it but it took me at least to page 100 to like it. If my friend wasn’t forcing me to keep going I probably wouldn’t have but so glad I did.

I read them 20 years ago when I was in HS and stopped after the 4th 1, DOA because the 5th hadn’t come out yet and by the time it did (2 years later) I was just too busy with my AP classes senior year. Then college, working full time and taking care of my disabled father left me no time to read for fun.

This book has a lot of loyal followers, but I’m not one of them. I read the first one expecting time travel and history. I felt like she did a fabulous job describing the time period and place, but really, it was ALL about the bonking. I got three quarters of the way through and thought geez Louise, are they at it again, and I stopped reading. Had I been 14 and in my Mills & Boon phase, it would have been great. But I’m a little past that.

The author is extremely “flowery” and tends drag the details on and on but I’m on the second book and still enjoying it. Now what everyone should try out is the audiobook! Davina Porter is an INCREDIBLE narrator and has the accents and pronunciations down.

I could not get into it. I was fighting to get to page 60 in the first book. BUT that does not mean they are bad, just not for me. Many people love them, so enjoy the ride! 🙂

I loved Outlander and then got to the second one and struggled through it. I haven’t picked it back up, though I did purchase the 3rd book in the series for .50 cents in a thrift shop so may try to get back into it in the future.
