I tried the audio many years ago, but couldn't get interested. When the NOOK deal popped up, I went ahead and got it. Now to see if and when I ever get around to reading it. Just finished a chunkster (600 pages of East of Eden), so it may be a while. I need some quick brain candy!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-31949314896185319902014-03-28T09:28:45.297-05:002014-03-28T09:28:45.297-05:00I must still read Outlander.

It was my third time, and I think maybe I liked it best this time through because I knew what was coming and so wasn't as shocked as the first time through. I have to say that like Outlander or not, Gabaldon is one heck of a storyteller. FYI--book three, Voyager is my favorite of the series.

Probably not. And the violence and her forgiving him? Meh. But good for you for getting through it!

I have yet to relent, and for much of the reasons you describe in your review. I just can't bring myself to be interested in the books. I may watch the series when it comes out on DVD. Maybe.
