edit: audio book this time 
 I actually really enjoyed this book, though I watched the first half of the TV series first. I'm very curious how it will go on in the second half. I'm also wondering what happens in the next 9 books! I know bits and pieces, but separate they seem cruel and nonsensical. I did find it heavy going though, it's taken me 5 days to read it and I've been reading it on my phone app so I've even had stolen waiting-for-software-to-install reading moments!

 I have come late to the Outlander party. I have to admit when I first came across the book a few years ago, I immediately cast it away because, let's face it, the whole thing is about a love triangle. But I watched the TV show on the internet and was immediately desperate to know what happened next. I was pleased to see that the series seems to have stuck as close as possible to the book so far, though I do wonder how much of the next part they'll miss out. But this is about the book, not the show. 
 I found it heavy mainly for the fact that it was so long! As a kindle book, I had no concept of size and it just kept going on and on! I was so relieved to reach the end, but found it raised more questions than it answered. I know some of the future storyline from quotes on pinterest, so finding out what happens at the end of this book has confused me greatly as there are 7 or 8 others to go! 
 I thought I may need a break after this book, but I find myself thinking of it often and the mystery of it all is getting to me. I may have to read the next one sooner than I'd planned! 
 I found none of this book fell under stereotypical romance novel cliches (except for the triangle, again) and I loved how Claire and Jamie looked after each other. It wasn't all Jamie's responsibility. 
 On the whole I'm not disappointed I waited for the TV series before reading it as I think the visual helped me get over the parts I would have hated before and I was certainly 100% behind her choice!!
