Easily a favorite

Ms. Gabaldon is my favorite modern author, and this book is a prime example of why. A sequel to "Outlander" and a book that could possibly stand on it's own, "Amber" is humorous, dramatic, romantic and heartwrenching all in one. It's also riveting. Ms. Gabaldon writes characters as though she's lived with them all her life. She also considers details that some might not even think of: Claire horrifying her husband with newly waxed legs; a sight he'd never beheld before. The French plot is as good as any Tom Clancy novel, and the Culloden plot is as endearing as Jane Austin. The irony in that lay in the fact that the French plot is back in history and Culloden is 1968. Pick up "Outlander" and pick this one up to follow it!

Unescapable

Dragonfly in Amber was the first of the Outlander series that I read. At the time, I didn't know it WAS a series. I laughed, I cried, I couldn't put it down.
It's difficult to put into words what makes this book so fantastic. It is so easy to fall in love with the vivid characters, and find youself entrapped within the 18th century landscape that makes the background of this novel.
I recommend this book for anyone looking for a good read.

Diana does it again.

Very well written and i like the use of voice in this book. I like just about everything. I fell in love with Jamie and Clair and loved the romance. i wanted to cry at the end.
