This book has been out for awhile, but I just got around to reading it - so sue me for being slow! :)
So far, I've only read the first book, but I intend to continue with the seven book series...eventually. I mean each book is at least 700 pages long, so it takes some serious time investment. And if the other books are anything like the first, they will be emotionally draining.
In Outlander Gabaldon introduces the characters of Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall. If you Google this author, or any of these books, you'll see HOARDES of fan-obsessed sites. There is a reason for this - it's good. Really good. The characters are SOLID, and the story, it just keeps on going. Yes, it is long. But not long in the sense where you're just dying for it to be over.
In short, well played Ms. Gabaldon.
