First, let me say that everytime I read the title I hear the voice of that red-haired kid from 'Children of the Corn' screaming "OUTLANDER!!!" Beyond that, it took me three attempts to read this book. The first two times I couldn't get past page 100 on my nook. For the third attempt I got it from the library and started out at the page I had been stopping (tricky, eh?). I'm not sure if it was because it was a physical book or because I was determined to finish this time - but I actually got into the story and was able to finish in a few days. I'm a person that enjoys historical romances - I claim to like other genres but these are my favorite. So unlike some people, I wasn't put off by the sex scenes (tame compared to a lot of the books I've read) or even the "spanking" scene (again, worse things happen in other books I've read). Overall the book wasn't bad, it held my interest on this latest try. I think it would benefit from editing - there were many parts of the book that the author went about 20-30 pages too long, Lallybroch especially. It was evident that the author spent a great deal of time researching her setting - and it was appreciated! I enjoyed learning about life in Scotland during the 1700s. She also managed to create two characters that seemed very real in Jamie and Claire. While aspects of their relationship seemed false (Claire basically forgetting about Frank after being married to Jamie for two seconds), for the most part they had a believeable relationship. I think the key to reading this book is to have no expectations (I realize that this is hard since sooo many people claim to love it), but to be aware that there is a reason it is sometimes shelved in the "romance" section. I'm not a big fan of Scotland as a setting, but I've read that the series goes to America and other places later - so I'll continue for at least a book or two. Plus, I've already picked up the second installment at Borders (RIP)

this was a surprise. I only got it at the last minute from the library. Okay, it isn't even kept on the regular dewey shelves. It is kept on the general "audio"shelf, meaning it was donated and not deemed worth enough to be assigned a number. I listened to this on audio, which was great, because the story is told by one of those crisp clear British readers who can do great voices. I felt like I was there! As Dr Stanley went to his last expedition into the congo, to save some Amin, to keep England's interest there etc. HOwever, one doubts he was motivated for England as much as he was for himself, as he took the hardest route, "through the Etruirian woods". You know, if I was British, I would probably be getting into these explorers, especially Stanley and Livingston. There were parallels between the African expedition and the first expeditions of fur trappers into our great Northwest, esp Oregon. For one, both countries had native tribes, both friendly and hostile. For another, both countries had tribes that hated the whites due to their experience with other whites. This book, it wasnt' an exposure to whites, but, whenever Stanley's party tried to blaze, the slavers would go right before. They would burn villages etc, and soon Dr Stanley's party was assoc with this. Most came from "lower class" backgrounds. Stanley certainly did and so did a lot of the trappers. How exciting it must have been to explore where no white man had ever been! When I am hiking in the woods and we often find places not many people go around, I try to "blaze" a trail, in my peevy amateur way, going where there isn't one. Even if there is one close hah a. It's the closest thing I have heard of that parallels the history of my beloved Oregon, and around the same time as well. Accuenting that there really aren't many differences when it comes to conquering the land, enduring things one can't control like weather, and water. Learning to get along iwth the indegenouse people or you can't really make it. there is a sort of tragic ending, and you sort of are left to wonder what it was all for, those loss of lives and so forth. However, the purest motive for exploration is exploring for the sake of exploring! and a little fame in doesn't hurt finally, the explorere's personality. had they not been so cocky, so focused, despite the hardship on those with the leader, could they really get anywhere??
