Title: Slogging through 979 pages
Review: I love the Outlander series, but this book nearly did me in. I had to force myself to finish it. The story started to be engaging around page 600, but then it got awful again. Gabaldon got so bogged down in the minutiae of 18th century colonial life that I missed the plot points (if they were even there). Also, since there was such a long break between installments, it would have been helpful to have a little backstory included --- but that probably would have entailed another 500 pages! I'll get the next one from the library, but that's her last chance!
