Just finished Outlander the other day - here is my post (not too detailed because really, where do you even begin): http://reviewfromhere.com/?p=624
I do know that this book is going to be hard to beat - time to go out and get the rest of the series!
This book got me hooked when I first read it years ago. The concept of going back in time, as the 20th century me, and being forced to survive in such a different world? Walking the line between witchcraft and knowledge, especially as an educated woman? My imagination ran amok! I credit this book with giving me the inspiration to imagine all sorts of wonderful scenarios!

Ohhh this book is amazing! I just can't begin to explain how wonderful it is... But you already know that huh? *wink*
I wrote a little review of Outlander on my blog ( http://pattepoilue.blogspot.com/2010/01/review-outlander-or-how-diana-gabaldon.html) I just loved it. This will be a reread!
I finished this one about a week or so ago. I really loved it. Here's my post. It's a general discussion post and might have some little spoilers.
I finished Outlander yesterday - what a good book! My brief "review" is here.
I finished Outland two weeks about and had to buy the next two immediately. The only other book series I have been so hooked to was that Twilight series and now I have to say even though I love Edward. Jamie beat him by far. He is an amazing character and while reading the story in first person as Claire you can't help but for in love with him also and feel the love, and the sadness wrapped in a amazing series of passion.
Hi Tracee! I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed the book and can't wait to hear what you think of Dragonfly when you finish it! Big Congrats on finishing it and being the first to post your progress!!! You go hon!!!! :)
Hi Diana! So glad to have you with us. I totally agree with you I loved that concept as well in the books it's such an interesting one to ponder and I LOVE how Claire tries to blend but bless her she's such a strong personality that is very difficult for her isn't it LOL! Thanks for joining us! :)
Hi Patte! I am so glad you loved the book that is awesome!!!!! And thank you so much for posting your link I loved you review. I do hope you love the other books as well! Jamie is a dream isn't he? *dreamy sighhhh...*

Hi Mary! So glad you posted and wonderful review I so hope you enjoy the rest of the series!BIG HUGS
Hi Roberta WOW you go girl!!! I am so so glad you enjoyed it and I'm tickled to death that you loved Jamie so much OH yes he trounces Edward to bits doesn't he LOL. ;)
I am right there with ya girl she writes with such feeling you just get totally absorbed in the characters and their stories don't ya. I so hope you love the rest of the series and can't wait to hear what you and all the others think of the next books as well! :)
Finished Outlander yesterday. It was my second time reading it and I must say that I enjoyed it more this time around. http://texan4life.wordpress.com/2010/02/17/outlander-review/
I guess this is where we leave our progress reports for the individual books. Finished about oh, three weeks ago or so. Have had a lot going on and didn't have time to report in. I am currently probably about 3/4 the way through Dragonfly in Amber. You guys know these books are darn addictive and make it hard for me to go to sleep at night or do anything else for that matter, right? :)
Hi Stephanie I'm so glad that you enjoyed it more this time around. It's one of those stories that never gets old to me. I could read it a dozen times and get something new out of it that I didn't notice the other times. DG has such a great depth of writing and characterization she's truly amazing isn't she.
Hi Christi congrats on finishing Outlander and starting on Dragonfly! I'm so glad to hear that you liked it so much and yes you will definitely lose sleep when you start reading them at least I sure do lol.
Finished Outlander, much quicker this time around I feel. I remember how much I adored these characters :)

So far this one is my fave, but I'm only on 3 so we'll see.
Did you all get that Frank messed around on her in this one?
