Review:Service background is enlightning. Back and forth i e tit for tat is humorous and appropriately done in context. It included just enough previous characters from other books to be interesting. Looking forward to next in series. Read more
Review:There are some passages in this book that contain some evocative prose. Aside from those rare bright spots, this book fails to deliver on pretty much all fronts. The characters are shallow, unconvincing -- they are 16-year-olds in bodies and minds of mid-20-somethings. Reading this book is like watching a filmed version where the teens are played by over-the-hill, way-passed-teenage actors that not only do not look the part, but no care was given to make them sound the part.

Review:This is a big, sprawling, complex, irresistible novel about New York in the 1970s, a period I well remember, though I believe the author was not yet born. I closed the book, which kept me such good company during a terrible bout with the flu, and immediately started to reread it. This is a tactic I would recommend to all who finish this long and wonderful saga....it's a little slow-going at first, and confusing, but soon picks up pace, and you will want to return to admire the the way the pieces...

Review:These stories are entertaining and romantic. The characters are believable and we'll developed. I am stimulated to visit Scotland and see some of these castles. The way of life in the 17th century is portrayed as free of modern technology including congested roads and nuclear weapons. Enjoy! Read more

Review:This book was Not my favorite. Personally, I don't enjoy reading about gay love. But i'll read anything Diana Gabaldon writes, she is a truly gifted storyteller. Gabaldon's descriptions are unexpected and often hilarious. Her writing style is superb. Read more
Review:These are short stories featuring Lord John Grey--shorter adventures in which he gets the better of the Hellfire Club, uncovers a copper smuggling ring and a ring of spies (on the field of battle). A great read. Read more
Review:Diana Gabaldon rarely disappoints. She is an excellent story teller. I only gave it four stars because I wasn't really interested in that much detail about his "love life". Still, it was a good read and brought this interesting character to life. It built my anticipation for the next Outlander novel coming out in December. Can't wait for it. Read more
Review:Diana Gabeldon is an incredible storyteller. Anything she writes is absolutely wonderful. This is just an " aside" to the wonderful Outlander" series - about one of the characters in her series, but more of his own story. Read more
