An Echo in the Bone Diana Gabaldon 8601416186832 Books

Diana Gabaldon continues to enthrall her fans with this the seventh of eight novels (can't wait for number nine to be completed!). As much as I enjoyed Claire and Jamie's life and adventures in Scotland, there is something very compelling about them having new experiences in a raw and war torn America. I love that their family (not just blood) is expanding and the extended family is maturing and becoming an important part of the story in their own right.
I will not go into great detail because you have most likely read her other six novels you know you are staring into a dramatic abyss that will suck you down and hold you until the end of the book and beyond. I am re-reading the series for the third time and it still captivated me just as it did the first time. I have lost a lot of sleep working my way through these books, just as I did the first time, often falling asleep with the book on my lap. Good thing I'm retired now and can sleep in. I think they get even better with re-reading-like a good story told by your grandfather that you love hearing again and again. Plus, the older you get when you read them, the more life experience you have to illuminate what Claire and Jamie are going through as they get older and their love more embroidered.
If you are reading the series for the first time, be sure and have the eighth book at hand when you get close to finishing this one. I actually delayed reading number eight this time as long as I could stand because I knew it still be a long time before number nine would be published. We'll just have to be patient. Perfection takes time and hard work. Thanks again to Diana Gabaldon for creating this world for us Outlanders to explore and treasure.

An Echo in the Bone Diana Gabaldon 8601416186832 Books Reviews

I'm half way through the book. I have loved all of Diana's previous Outlander series books. But this one has got me stumped. Instead of her usual crisp, entertaining writing style, half of the chapters are long, long letters written from one person to another. It feels the only reason they are there is to cram the history of the war down our throats, so, I guess she can come back later and feed in the setting with real writing. I've put it down twice and keep coming back because I've loved ALL of the other books. Hoping it comes together.
I started reading this series when the first book was published. I enjoyed the early books but there was a point when I just didn't pick up the next book. As I started reading and got beyond the fourth book I remembered why.

It became really annoying that she rarely interprets the Gaelic speeches and words so while the Gaelic speaking audience gets the full understanding of what is happening everyone else reading the book does not. I am frankly disappointed that they don't interpret in the series how difficult is that money lies and tv shows do it all of the time.

Then what is up with the suddenly added references for things like a burp using the old English? It's not like these words are being spoken by characters, that would make sense but she is using to describe what's going. I mean come on a burp is a burp this is basically a romance novel historical references are not necessary.

There is far too many plot lines going on and too many jumps in the timelines. And not just from eighteenth to twentieth centuries but even within the eighteenth century.

And what is up with the self dialog where Jaime has memories of two other women he slept with? I imagine we learn more in the next book but this sure as check better not lead up to finding out he was not a virgin. Because that is one of the most endearing parts of Jaime and Claire's wedding day. I was also disappointed to learn that Jaime lied to Claire about how many times he slept with Williams mother. What happened to no more secrets? It would be nice if just once a man kept his promise even if it is just in a work of fiction.

I have already bought the next book for my kindle so will read it. I just hope that if the tv series makes it this far, they will do a major edit.
I love outlander I have ready the books for three years now. And I love the TV series. Now some of the books are hard to get through. In my opinion 2 and 5 were the hardest. But this one I think makes the list. No spoiling intended but it takes about 700 pages for the actual plot to kick in. (The plot that was describe on the back of the book) going in I thought this book would be all about what they described. But it isn't. It flips back and forth between too many characters. I like john Greg and Willie just fine but I dont really care all to much about what happens to them on a daily basis. I wanted more Claire and Jamie. And heck even more roger and Brianna. I dont really like their romance but I would have liked it more than reading about Willie traveling through a swamp...

I only read this one so I could see what the next one was about. I had even put this one down for a few months. (Not quite as long as when I had put the 5th one down for a year)

I really hope the next one was worth it.
It is always interesting to read reviews and see the difference in opinion; that's what's so fun about reading them. I have to respectfully disagree with some of the reviews because I thought this book was absolutely fantastic. There was so much going on in this book and so many characters to keep track of, it became quite a feat to keep up. There were times when my mouth actually dropped open while reading because I was shocked.

I do have to agree with reviewers that were a bit peeved about the loose ends. If I would have read this book before Book 8 was published, I would have been upset also. Since that was not the case, I just transitioned into the next one without an issue. Talk about cliff hangers though. Wow.

There isn't much more that can be said about this series. I'm so glad that I took the time to delve into this series because it is one that will not be easy to forget.
