Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Marsha Bryner

Seldom are books so well written that the reader is compelled to reread them to prolong the experience of being the proverbial fly on the wall.  I've read this entire series four times and am half way through the fifth reading.  Diana Gabaldon's work is the absolute best I've come across.  She's easy to follow and entertaining as well as educational.  I become so involved with the stories that when a particularly scary scene unfolds I've had to put the book down for a day and sometimes two before daring to continue reading.  Ms Gabaldon brings the characters and descriptiions of events and scenes vivid beyond words.  My dictionary, Latin to English, Spanish to English, French to English references are always at my side when I read any of the Outlander series books.  She's made learning and retaining historical information easy as pie.  I will purchase every book she writes in this series and recommend them to all my friends and acquaintances.
