Hurtled back through time more than two hundred years to Scotland in 1743, Claire Randall finds herself caught in the midst of an unfamiliar world torn apart by violence, pestilence, and revolution and haunted by her growing feelings for James Fraser, a young soldier.
LiddyGally: I recommend this book because the writing styles are in a similar vein rather than the stories being the same. Both, however, are set in the wilds of Scotland.
elbakerone: Though Banks' novel is set in present day (and is considerably shorter), the love story with the gorgeous backdrop of Scotland was reminiscent of Gabaldon's series.
First of all, I started reading this book before I watched the tv show but then I paused the reading for a very long time. I'm not a time travel aficionada, so that was always something that held me back on my reading. However, I was enjoying the narrative, D.G. writes very well, it's fluid and it can make you picture things very clearly. I stopped reading for a long time and when the tv showed came out, I couldn't resist to watch it. So I did. And I enjoyed the tv show a lot. And because season 2 is coming out, I thought I ought to finish reading the book. But I already knew what was going to happen, nevertheless, I enjoyed the ride of D.G. words, I lived it again without boredom.
Some people have time to get through the violence and sexual content being sometimes hardcore. I must I didn't, it's a different reality from the one we know and there is this passion between the main characters that sometimes is overwhelming. There are also other sexual activities that are hardcore and hard to cope with that will damage the main characters psychologically. So what people should ask before they read this series is: Can I be open minded and stomach hardcore contents?
It's a brave thing for an author to start writing a complex and long story. Even if you can't stomach the contents because your personal beliefs or just because it's too hardcore, you should acknowledge the author art. And I believe this narrative and the world it's strong built. I am curious about the following books and I am going to continue watching tv series. ( )

People disappear all the time. Ask any policeman. Better yet, ask a journalist. Disappearances are bread-and-butter to journalists. Young girls run away from home. Young children stray from their parents and are never seen again. Housewives reach the end of their tether and take the grocery money and a taxi to the station. International financiers change their names and vanish into the smoke of imported cigars. Many of the lost will be found, eventually, dead or alive. Disappearances, after all, have explanations. Usually.
