You've Got to Read this Book!
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon is not a new book, but it certainly one that has stood the test of time and a novel that should be introduced to a new generation of reader. It is the 20th anniversary of the novel and in celebration some copies of the book were given away on... Read full review »
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - Chick-Lit Meets Alternate History
Recently I put it out to my friends on Facebook for book recommendations. I had run the gamut of stories with my usual favorite authors and was looking for something a little different. One of the recommendations I received was for Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. It was the first book in a... Read full review »
Outlander
This book is far from what I expected. Recommended to me by a book message board, I had expected a fantasy type novel with just a hint of romance. While there's some of that Outlander is vastly different from normal time travel books.
Claire, a married nurse from the 1940's is on...

Fascinating tale of romance woven in Scottish history.
Gabaldon writes a fascinating romantic tale woven of Scottish history. The beginning was a bit slow, but soon I found myself completely enthralled with the story line and completely lost in Jamie and Claire's lives. Gabaldon sucks readers into the series with this novel, forcing you to... Read full review »
A very long book, good romance
D. Gabaldon is a good story teller & she researches not only her sites but history facts. The only problem I have is makes it so long & some of the characters come in & out of the story. Read full review »
Outlander, Diana Gabaldon's First Book in A Fantastic Series
A friend gave me Outlander by Diana Gabaldon for my birthday. She has talked about a fantastic series by Gabaldon for a long time and I had never heard of the books, nor the author. I just finished reading all 850 pages of Outlander and I cannot wait to delve into the next book in the series,... Read full review »
A Romance/Fantasy for Everyone
I am turned off by fantasies. Put a little romance into it and I am bound to be rolling my eyes. For some reason, this book does not apply. A few years ago, I saw my roomate curled up in her bed reading this novel, "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. She would not, and could not, put it down. I asked to... Read full review »
SciFi/History/Sexiest Man Ever - what more could you want!
I was given this book by a friend who bought it because it was thick and she had a long flight ahead. Instead she met someone on the plane to talk to and gave it to me since she knew I liked scifi/fantasy and it was about time travel. I started it on a Friday night and had to finish it over the...

Love this book, "historical romance" doesn't do it justice..
Like others here I have read and reread this book numerous times. The book jacket excerpts and descriptions do NOT do it justice.
This is the story of Jaime and Claire. And yes, it is a love story and yet it is SO much more than that. You travel through time with them, become friends with...

Outlander: not your typical time travel book
Outlander is the first book in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon.
Diana is an excellent writer! Diana puts a new spin on time-travel genre. If you are tired of reading novels with the same character types and with the same premises in different settings, then you will be very pleased...

Blissful Escapism at it's Finest
A hard to put down, page turning humdinger of a novel. Ms. Gabaldon knows how to transport the reader to another time with ease. The characters stay with you after you are done reading.

Pick it up! Pick it up!
I resisted buying Gabaldon's books for the longest time. The blurb said it would be just another time travel story, and I couldn't see why there were so many in the series. Thick books, too.
But she writes well. I found out how well when I bought Legends II for Robin Hobb's story. I was...

Finally, a Romance Heroine Strong and Smart, not Naive and Stupid
I gave up reading romance novels twenty years ago because I felt I was reading the same novel over and over again, only with different names and settings. Because of the story line, I decided to give Outlander a try. Soon I was addicted to the world of Claire and Jamie and their unusual love story... Read full review »
Makes you want to journey through time too.
These are the most intelligent, well written, historical fiction, time travel, romance books I have ever read. You want the main characters to be your best friends. I have read the whole series 3 times. You won't be sorry you bought them. Gabaldon lets you have the pleasure of reading several... Read full review »

Not your Gramma's Romance Novel
I am reading this book for the fourth time for two very good reasons. First, because the author, Diana Gabaldon, writes such fascinating tales packed with information and action that I can reread one of her books and not be bored.
Second, because she writes so darn slow. Outlander was...

My FAVORITE book of all time
I am an avid reader who spends a fair amount of time in the library. I have NEVER bought a book to keep at home for myself until I came across this book and series. Now that I have read this book, no other author compares. I find myself disappointed with any other writer.
