An Echo in the Bone Outlander Diana Gabaldon 9780385342452 Books

I've been a fan of this series since reading Outlander, the first in the series, and have loved them all. I never minded the number of pages because reading about the lives of Jamie and Claire was such good entertainment. A truly classy time-travel romance and adventure. These two characters were brought to life, a great talent by any author, in all the previous books. Sadly, this book was a complete let down. Jamie and Claire were lost in the lives of so many other characters and happenings, and rarely were these tied in to any kind of ongoing storyline. These two are the central characters, and will always remain so for me. Very disjointed, almost as if they were written by the author in clumps and then stuck together in one book cover to make a deadline. I don't care for the Lord John tie in, never did, and too much time was spent with that. It really wasn't necessary for the cliff-hanger ending as her fans would continue to buy the ongoing saga, regardless. I gave it two stars only because some of the adventures were about Jamie, Claire, Bree, Roger, etc., and because of the previous great books in this series. Thank you, Ms. Gabaldon, for your previous books; I'll keep and re-read them all, but this hardcover will be donated to the senior citizen's reading library. If I do decide to try her next book - in two years probably - it will be from the library as I will not be purchasing it.

An Echo in the Bone Outlander Diana Gabaldon 9780385342452 Books Reviews

I love outlander I have ready the books for three years now. And I love the TV series. Now some of the books are hard to get through. In my opinion 2 and 5 were the hardest. But this one I think makes the list. No spoiling intended but it takes about 700 pages for the actual plot to kick in. (The plot that was describe on the back of the book) going in I thought this book would be all about what they described. But it isn't. It flips back and forth between too many characters. I like john Greg and Willie just fine but I dont really care all to much about what happens to them on a daily basis. I wanted more Claire and Jamie. And heck even more roger and Brianna. I dont really like their romance but I would have liked it more than reading about Willie traveling through a swamp...

I only read this one so I could see what the next one was about. I had even put this one down for a few months. (Not quite as long as when I had put the 5th one down for a year)

I really hope the next one was worth it.
It is always interesting to read reviews and see the difference in opinion; that's what's so fun about reading them. I have to respectfully disagree with some of the reviews because I thought this book was absolutely fantastic. There was so much going on in this book and so many characters to keep track of, it became quite a feat to keep up. There were times when my mouth actually dropped open while reading because I was shocked.

I do have to agree with reviewers that were a bit peeved about the loose ends. If I would have read this book before Book 8 was published, I would have been upset also. Since that was not the case, I just transitioned into the next one without an issue. Talk about cliff hangers though. Wow.

There isn't much more that can be said about this series. I'm so glad that I took the time to delve into this series because it is one that will not be easy to forget.
Diana Gabaldon continues to enthrall her fans with this the seventh of eight novels (can't wait for number nine to be completed!). As much as I enjoyed Claire and Jamie's life and adventures in Scotland, there is something very compelling about them having new experiences in a raw and war torn America. I love that their family (not just blood) is expanding and the extended family is maturing and becoming an important part of the story in their own right.
I will not go into great detail because you have most likely read her other six novels you know you are staring into a dramatic abyss that will suck you down and hold you until the end of the book and beyond. I am re-reading the series for the third time and it still captivated me just as it did the first time. I have lost a lot of sleep working my way through these books, just as I did the first time, often falling asleep with the book on my lap. Good thing I'm retired now and can sleep in. I think they get even better with re-reading-like a good story told by your grandfather that you love hearing again and again. Plus, the older you get when you read them, the more life experience you have to illuminate what Claire and Jamie are going through as they get older and their love more embroidered.
If you are reading the series for the first time, be sure and have the eighth book at hand when you get close to finishing this one. I actually delayed reading number eight this time as long as I could stand because I knew it still be a long time before number nine would be published. We'll just have to be patient. Perfection takes time and hard work. Thanks again to Diana Gabaldon for creating this world for us Outlanders to explore and treasure.
