" Wonderful author, story & characters! I watched the TV series first and now I love listening to the books to fill in all the details that I didn’t even realize I was missing. The narration is exceptional with the different voices for each character. Listening was/is a great way to make mundane tasks much more enjoyable. "

" I have listened to all the books. In my opinion that is the best way to enjoy these amazing novels. The narrator is THE BEST! It is such a great way to escape into Jamie and Claire's world. I tried reading them and it wrecked my life because I couldn't put them down. Listening is the way to go because I can still get stuff done while listening to my favorite story. "

" These books are fantastic. I never thought I would like this type of story however, Diana Gabaldon has created characters you can relate to and fall in love with while at the same time she has characters that you HATE! These books are amazing! "

" This is the 5th book in the Outlander series. It is the second book that I love the most. It has Romance and Adventures and so much history! Jamie and Claire are back and now joined with their daughter and her husband. Along with everyone on Fraser Ridge! Oh and mystery is aboard this time around too! "

" I cannot get enough of Brianna, Roger and the plethora of other characters. This book is so much more then Jamie and Claire...and I find they are 'too big' of characters who can 'do anything'. I like the realism of the characters that are normal, and struggling. I love this series so much...(especially after Voyager)..... "

" First of all , if you listen to this you would be in love with audio books. The narrator is genius. I'm new to the idea of audio books. At first I was skeptical and thought I wouldn't enjoy listening to a book rather than reading it.
I keep trying to steel moments to go and enjoy this. Highly recommend it especially if you dive long distance or have to watch your child play. "

" Having seen the TV Series of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Books 1 & 2, and having listened to Books 3 & 4 while waiting for these books to be released on TV, I had to continue this wonderful saga with her Book 5 - The Fiery Cross. I love the way Diana's Scottish/ C18th English/Colonial American humour, intrigue, pathos & empathy is brought to life in Davina's audio performance. I find the story enthralling & enchanting as Diana's web-like connections both within & between Chapters, Sections & Books both fill-out & surprise me from the Plot Summaries that I have already read of all the Books (up to No. 8) when deciding how much I needed to get these audiobooks in order to find some approximation of the TV Series' version of Book 1 & 2. I both can't wait & dearly 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 Books' TV series.

" I am completely enthralled with this series – the books are long but engrossing and take you back to a different time and place. I don't want the series to end. It is a mixture of historical fiction, science-fiction and romance – have never read anything like it before – quite enjoyable! "

" Love, love, love!! So many issues in these books that I find applicable to my own life (dealing with relationships, making tough decisions, discovering who you are/want to be, etc). And Gabaldon proves over and over again that she is a master story teller and character developer - I feel like these people are my family! Is it weird that I sometimes tell Brent things like, "Jamie got bitten by a rattlesnake today"?? haha. Can't wait for the next one! "
