Samantha Glasser's Reviews > Outlander

I love time travel stories, so I was naturally interested in this book which centers around a woman who nursed soldiers during WWII who is suddenly transported back 200 years. The excellent flow of the storytelling makes this daunting novel not only easy to read, but so satisfying that one cannot stop. It has flaws-- I felt the amount of sex that the author described was unneccesary-- but it is so entertaining, one forgives these faults.

There are also moments of wisdom, especially about the relationships between Claire and the men in her life. Ex: "Not for the first time, I reflected that intimacy and romance are not synonymous." Each character is extremely well-developed, including the auxillary players.

I don't see how anyone could be content to not read onto the next novel in the series.
