I read most of Outlander as a teenager and young adult (the German translations). This was an experiment.
I liked reading a mystery in a different time and I especially enjoyed all the research that went into gay culture of London in the 18th century.
The writing style is sometimes a bit too descriptive for me and it took me a while to get into the book at the beginning. Still, a nice read.

I liked the story. It was clear that the author had studied a theme and environment about which she wrote. The writing style was easy to read and consistently. The twists in the story were well written and placed. However, in the Czech translation, the sentences sometimes made little sense.
