has anyone read the outlander books by Diana Galbadon and what did you think of them?

Question

They are the most awesome books I've ever read,, I can't put them down!! Just seeing if there is a fan base for her out there.

Answer 1

I actually have just started reading the series....my wife has tried for years to get me to read them and I just picked them up the other day and I have found them to be very enjoyable....much more than meets the eye....I am looking forward to reading the whole series....

Answer 2

I love them! I discovered them about three years ago and have not been able to resist going back and rereading my favorite parts whenever I get the urge, ever since.

I'm in the middle of a real reread right now, including my first reread of "A Breath of Snow and Ashes." I read that whole thing in a little over 29 hours when it came out last September - so I'm definitely finding parts that I didn't remember, which is wonderful!

Diana Gabaldon's writing never ceases to amaze me. Jamie and Claire could be real people, the way she writes them. She never shies away from a topic because it might be controversial or "who wants to read that much about diaper changing?"

And, if he wasn't already married to Bree; I'd want Roger. Tall, dark and handsome - check. Intelligent - check. Funny - check. Cute, Scottish accent - check. Yeah, I'd take him.

There is definitely an Internet fan base for Outlander. The Ladies of Lallybroch are probably the largest and best known. Diana has even been known to lurk from time to time - and has given them credit on the acknowledgments page of the last two books. She is also a forum leader over at the CompuServe writer's forums.

Answer 3

I have read all of her books in the Outlander series. I just love Clair and Jamie Frazier. I think there is going to be one more, but I don't know when it will be written or released. It will probably focus more on Briana and Roger. I can't wait til it comes out. Have you checked out Diana Gabaldon's website?

Answer 4

I read them all, actually ate them up... they are pretty long books. I enjoyed them and I thought the whole concept and time travel was really cool but I really did feel bad about Jaime nearly dying about 2-3 times per book. But over all great reading material, I liked how they would use real life charachters like the White Witch of Rose Hall in Jamiaca.

Answer 5

I loved these books, but I found the later one called "Cross of Fire" was a little too tedious for me. I think there is one more after that and I'm going to try to read it this summer.
