Started to read this book because of the tv show. I was a little skeptical about time-traveler story (let's admit it, there are a bunch of them already), but this one got my attention. Diana Gabaldon must have done a tremendous amount of research because the historical detail she presents in the book is just amazing. For you who enjoy history, this is it! For you who loves romance? This is also it! It's super long tho, but it's enjoyable to read because the story is just captivating. And I LOVE JAMIE FRASER! How can you not love him? He will make you swoon and giggle, and laugh too (at least for me). But Jamie and Claire are basically perfect! They're lovable and I love their characterization. It's pretty addictive.
