Outlander part 2

The first half of this book is very different from the second half. The violence I described in the earlier post didn't happen again...at least not between Claire and Jamie. There was other forms of violence though. I found the homosexuality very strange. I'm not sure why this was put in the book, unless for pure shock affect. Or perhaps the writer is trying to explain that this stuff happened back then as it does today.

I have some questions that I will discuss in the bookclub. I was confused a bit on a few things. But all in all, it was a page turner. I couldn't stop reading! There was heart break, excitement and of course steamy love scenes. For those of you who aren't in to hearing an intimate description of a love scene, then this book isn't for you because it is filled with it. But it was a great book even without all of that. I think the author uses that to describe the love that Jamie and Claire have for one another and just how deep it goes.

I would read the next book, but I'm in school right now and I fear I would neglect my studies...as I already have for this one! Once I start reading a book that I like, I cannot put it down. If you have the time to read an almost 700 page book, go out and get it. Loved it...can you tell?
