Book Reviews of Voyager (Outlander)

Book Review: Why bother
Summary: 1 Stars

This book is so poorly researched that it's a crying shame. The history of the time could have made up for poor plot lines, no backbone and sheer boredom. At least if the historical storylines are accurate you can get caught up in "believing" in the story. But in this case this, the lack of research is glaringly evident.

One quick example. At one point Claire asks a character when he was born. 1713 is the answer. Claire than says something about betting her clothes on the chance that 1713 was the Year of the Rat. OK, so Chinese New Year is in February. Ms. Gabaladon had two chances to get that right and she missed by a mile.

All respect for her as an historian was lost right there.

And keeping to the story she tells and her lack of follow through... what happened to Gaellie's child?

Summary of Voyager (Outlander)

In this rich, vibrant tale, Diana Gabaldon continues the story of Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser that began with the now-classic novel Outlander and continued in Dragonfly in Amber. Sweeping us from the battlefields of eighteenth-century Scotland to the exotic West Indies, Diana Gabaldon weaves magic once again in an exhilarating and utterly unforgettable novel....

Their love affair happened long ago by whatever measurement Claire Randall took. Two decades before, she had traveled back in time and into the arms of a gallant eighteenth-century Scot named Jamie Fraser. Then she returned to her own century to bear his child, believing him dead in the tragic battle of Culloden. Yet his memory has never lessened its hold on her ... and her body still cries out for him in her dreams.

When she discovers that Jamie may have survived, Claire must choose her destiny. And as time and space come full circle, she must find the courage to face what awaits her ... the deadly intrigues raging in a divided Scotland ... and the daring voyage into the dark unknown that lies beyond the standing stones.
