Title: I'm halfway through, and it is SOOOO boring!
Review: I am the biggest fan of Gabaldon and was so excited to get this book. Oh boy, oh boy, is it a snoozer! The writing is good, and the detail is great. However, there is such a thing as WAY too much detail. I even skipped over and read the end, and it wasn't any better!You know how Gabaldon always says that she writes in bits and pieces and then somehow glues it all together? It really shows in this book. Long, descriptive passages with very little action makes for a very, very slow, almost nonexistent story. It's as though she goes from one extremely detailed sequence to another with really NOTHING happening in the story.Where is the action? The romance? The time travel? The visits from characters in previous novels? The tying-together of storylines across the novels? Alas, it is gone.It is as though it is nearly a thousand pages of descriptive, nauseatingly boring detail in preparation for future novels. (...)
