The Outlander - Diana Gabaldon

The Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

Historical fiction (Scottish Highlands circa 1743) meets science fiction (the main character travels back in time from 1945) meets romance novel (use your imagination).

This book took me a looooong time to get into. The first few chapters are slow and a bit boring -- I fell asleep on the bus more than once -- but then I read a review that said it was worth getting through the first few boring chapters. It was worth it. Once I got into it, I could not put it down. Let's just say I am going to buy the sequel tomorrow. Oh yeah, it's the first of six novels. WAHOO!!!!
