 A BREATH TAKING ESCAPE FROM THE PRESENT!!!!!!! May 15, 1997
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
THIS IS NOT A "ROMANCE" NOVEL!!! May 9, 1997
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
Two parts history, one part romance equals non-stop read May 3, 1997
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
excellent read with engaging theme and characters! Super! May 2, 1997
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
A Brilliant Book Can Sure Come in Handy May 2, 1997

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
