Title: Enough already!
Review: Someone said that a pessimist is never disappointed. I waited for Diana Gabaldon's "The Firery Cross" with great optimism based on my pleasure in reading all privious "Outlander" stories. "The Firey Cross" is a great disappointment. Perhaps if I longed for the sensation of burping a baby or changing diapers I might find some pleasure in this book. Or, if I didn't mind that the main protagonist, Jamie Fraser, is almost a minor character my enjoyment might have escalated some. Basically, the book is about 600 pages too long with a story plot that plods laborously. Gabaldon reports that the writing of this book involved taking chunks of writing, separated by lengthy periods of time, and pasting them together. That is exactly the feel of the book. I will await the next in the Outlander series with a greater degree of pessimism.
