Has anyone ever read that? It's an old book, but someone suggested it was good so I thought I would read it. I've read about 100 pages and I just can't get into it..... not sure I should even continue with it. What did you think of it if you did read it? Should I continue??

Diana Gabaldon's Outlander? If so I've read all of the Outlander series. Great historic fiction. Can't wait for the next book.

I totally agree this is the first book of a great series. Hang in there and keep going you will get hooked. I wanted to cry when I read the last book in the series. I hope there is another. She has woven an amazing story around historic events first in Scotland, then France and finally in the colonies.

Totally agree with all replies. It's a fantastic series!

I, too, loved the series. Timetraveling with good historical settings. Introduced it to our Book Club. Some liked it some didn't. I can't wait until the next book!

Don't tell anybody but it's also one of the sexiest books ever written...without being smutty.
Jamie Fraiser... be still my heart.
Phew, is it hot in here or is it me?
Should probably be moved to the Feminine Forum.

LOL, totally agree. Check out The Oulander FB page. Big debate going on who will play Jamie in the movie. There's even an Outlander Tour of Scotland.

OK Whalen.... you convinced me.... I will continue... the book is due back at the library 10/11.... I will renew it so I can finish it and wait for the parts you don't want us to tell anybody about...LOL!!

I'm with you mayBavillager! Just couldn't get into it. I'm not much for sci-fi. I guess "different strokes for different folks". If it hasn't "gotten me" by page 100 I don't think it will get me.

I could not get into the first book for quite a while but once hooked - OMG - I loved it and am now on the last book of the series and do not want it to end. Keep going you will love it!!!

[jblum315]

Sci-fi is a much different genre than other fiction. In theory anyone with a high school education should be able to "get into" any novel written in English, but it's lot harder when it's a whole different world.

I read the entire series and enjoyed it. In places it was a little long winded and the broug slowed down the reading. I would recomend it.

Bummer -- wish I had known about the tour -- we were just in Scotland -- went to Coloden battlefield. Loved the series when I read it years ago -- by the way, it was classified as a romantic novel by Barnes and Noble when it first came out, but it reads more like an historical novel (with a little spice thrown in to keep it really interesting!)
