A review by c_dog
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

adventurous dark slow-paced
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

3.0

I was enjoying this book very much for the first half, but it lost me in the second. The rapes, the wife beating, the villian suddenly being gay,..these things just didn’t work for me. Maybe I’m just reading this with current sensibilities but I don’t think they were handled well. 

Also, it’s funny that the author insists that this isn’t a romance, since it could have been about 100 pages shorter if she cut out some of the sex scenes. I enjoy romance, but some of it just felt gratuitous.
