Download Outlander Audiobook

" I listened to this audio book which was narrated by Davina Porter. The only reason I made it through the book was BECAUSE it was narrated by Davina Porter. She is one of the absolute best audio book performers I have ever listened to and I've listened to a LOT of audio book performers. The book itself was good, but for my taste, it had way too much sex...over and over and over and over and over again. OK, we get it. They had a bunch of sex. Move on. The historical detail/information/situations were entertaining overall and the descriptions of life as they lived it in 18th century Scotland along with their experiences were engrossing and enlightening while at the same time a bit scary (not to mention disgusting!). The author, Diana Galbaldon, must have invested in an unimaginably extensive exploration of the times prior to writing this book. As mentioned by other reviewers, I too wish she had included more reactions by Claire to the disparity of the times as opposed to her 1940's life. Overall, I liked the book but because of the overabundance of sex scenes and Claire's lack of reaction to 18th century Scotland, I've only given 3 stars on the story. There were parts that I enjoyed immensely, but there were also parts that left me either annoyed (sex, again!) or less than satisfied (a lack of emotions or reactions). Without the excellent performance by Davina Porter, I would have given up about half way through! "

" I loved the book and the narration was also good. This is a great way to listen to a long book while doing other things. "

" Reading books are wonderful. But listening to them are fantastic! Outlander is a book that I will be listening to for the rest of my life! Davina Porter is wonderful with all the accents. She does the Gealic perfect. and she has the type of voice that doesn't matter if she does male or female. I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series! Diana Gabaldon is one of the best writers out there. The history and how she brings it to life is amazing. "

" I love this book!! It is fantastic everything rooled into it.. romantic, excitement,Syfy, time travel.and history. I love it! "

" I was not sure if I would like listening to a book. But Davina Porter is wonderful. She sounds English, Scottish and she even speaks Gealic! I think that everyone should try an audiobook...but this one is a must! "

" A great introduction to the series that draws you in, wanting you to keep reading what happens to the characters. "

" This book has everything to captivate the attention; from action to adventure, from romance to intrigue. "

" This story is so well written and just as beautifully read. I am so impressed with this series....a wonderful distraction, an amazing story and a pastime I do not regret losing myself in. Cannot wait to hear the rest! "

" I highly recommend this audio. The narrator made me feel like I was right there in the middle of the action. The story line is unbeatable. I look forward to all books by this author. I have seen the movie as well before listing to this audio and the narrator held my interest like the movie did. I truly enjoyed. "

" Having seen the TV Series of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Books 1 & 2, and listened to the audiobook of Books 3 to 8 to continue this wonderful saga, in order to hear how the original Voyager was written I got this first Book - Voyager. I love the way Diana’s C18th Scottish / English & mid C20th English humour, intrigue, pathos & empathy is brought to life in Davina’s audio performance. I found listening to the story of Diana’s web-like connections both within & between Chapters & Sections as enthralling & enchanting as it was represented on screen. This confirmed my decision of how much I needed to get this audiobook (& the future ones) in order find out how the Books were originally written in comparision & contrast to the TV Series’ version of Book 1 & 2. I both can’t wait & clearly hope that the visualisations of Books 3-8 will encompass the settings, characters, actions & emotions revealed in the audiobooks in their TV series that drew me in so inextricably with the first 2 Book’s TV series. "

" Never have I ever wanted a story to be part of a story as much as this one has made me feel! I feel homesick for a place and time I've never lived. Amazing!!!! "

" Loved the story, great premise, wonderful dialect you are brought along a great tale on intrigue into the history pages, easy to picture your place in time and involvement in the days of old as an outsider great charectors and narration. Keeping you in suspense the entire ride, expecting the obvious which never seems to come, just new obstacles at every turn until your wondering when this ride will end. Very lengthy not disappointing just a little overly descriptive roaming a bit far from the storyline nevertheless a very good read. "

" Davina Porter is a delightful reader of Diana Gaboldon's Outlander, the novel that launched the popular Starz TV series. I highly recommend this audio book for fans of the TV show, or as in introduction to the Highland world that has spawned 8 novels, with a 9th in process. "

" I think this should read as I fuss it's wonderfully book, anyone will get bnifit of it and then he increases the understinig and he will enjoyed and. "

" I can not wait for this book to come out Diana Gabaldon is by far my favorite and her books are the best. "

" I love DG's series of the Highlanders! "

" Another great addition to the story. "

" Exceptional book. Of the series, I learned much about pre-revolutionary war politics and daily life in the mountains. Great stuff! "

" A welcome return to Gabaldon's earlier storytelling. While there were scenes I didn't enjoy (Claire's capture, the revelations concerning Malva), this one definitely kept me turning the pages. "

" My Favorite in the Series so far! "

" Wow! Maybe the best one! She packed so much into this book, especially at the end. It felt a bit rushed that there was more detail in the beginning and then storming through a bunch of plot lines. But as always I loved it. Will read Echo soon but may delve into some non-fiction first... "

" Finally after all the graduations, freshman orientation and driving around the country I finished this book! Loved it! My obsession continues..... "

" Much better than the last two, but I need a break. I'm going to read "The Discovery of Witches" next. "

" This was the best of the series so far. I almost stopped reading after the last book because things were going nowhere. After about the first 100 pages of this book, there are a lot of interesting stories. It's one adventure after another in the last half of the book! "

" can there possibly be another one coming? claire and jamie are old by now - how can they keep running around the countryside and fighting wars? "

" I loved this book! After #5 I was hoping this book would pick up the pace. I love the tragedy the characters go through. the tragedy is what draws me to them. I was sad at the end...I am ready to start #7. "

" I liked how this one ended! One to the seventh and latest book of the series. "
