outlander..book

[zarapipe]

Quite a few ppl said they likes this book in the last book thread. I've started it and cannot get into it. I'm only 9% done. Does it get better? Did you like it instantly?

It's a slow start. I found it a great book/series, but it is a bit to get into it.

I was intrigued as soon as she traveled back (don't think that's a spoiler?), but I didn't really like it until a little over halfway through. It does get more interesting before that, as in exciting stuff happens, but I didn't actually care about either of them until a certain point.

But having read 6 of them now, eh, I wouldn't necessarily commit. They are LONG. And there are much shorter books/series with sexy dudes in kilts

Yeah, it's kind of a slow start. I really like the series, but it is LONG and some books tend to drag a bit in places.

It's for book club. I really dislike slow books, booo. I'm gonna a go a little further and see if I can get into it. Thanks all

It's a long, slow start. All her big books are, IMO. I picked the book up and didn't get through the first couple chapters a few times. Then one time I pushed past that intro part, and I was immediately hooked.

I say give it until she travels through the stones (not a spoiler, right? Since that's sort of in the description of the book?). It picks up some then, but it really gets can't-put-it-down-must-stay-up-all-night-reading good about halfway through.

I agree if you still aren't into it after a certain pivotal moment about halfway through, then it's not worth slogging through the rest.

I like the first couple but lost interest at the fourth one I think. It started to get repetitive and I was over that.

It took me about 250 pages before I was hooked, but it became one of my favorite series. If you like audiobooks, this is a good series to listen to because Devina Porter is an excellent narrator.

Yep, the beginning is slow. But it gets better. I'm currently on the 5th book. The series is keeping me intrigued.

[scribellesam]

I agree that they all start pretty slowly. And I adore the series.

[huskymom]

Nope, didn't get the love. Too romance-y for my taste.

You could just watch the miniseries.

[pooh8402]

yes, it's a slow start, but you will not regret continuing. this is my absolute favorite series, even more so than Harry Potter. and that's saying something.

It absolutely gets better! Takes some time to get sucked in, but when it happens.. goodbye free time.
