Journal Entry 1 by Kyrissaean from Littleton, New Hampshire USA on Friday, February 29, 2008

Unabridged audible download on 13 CDs, 15 hours and 31 minutes.

Well I loved it! The Lord John stories are their own thing, pretty solidly apart from the regular Outlander series (although we do catch a few brief glimpses of Jamie during the course of this story, but they are very brief). This was my favorite of the Lord John books so far! There's a lot going on, and I feel like I know Lord John much better now then I did before. The plot is full and solid, the setting is fully drawn out (of course!), and the characters are all interesting. Plus the narrator is just right! I enjoyed this from beginning to end, and I really hope Gabaldon continues on with John's story from here!

Do be aware that Gabaldon is as full of er...earthy observations and descriptions as always, and that John is a homosexual man open to relationships. If you would be uncomfortable reading about such situations, then this is not the book for you! This isn't a romance novel by genre, but that's not to say there's no romance involved.... In fact, there are a few places where you might want to be careful about who might overhear this audio, lest you contribute too much to their educations! There was one place that was a bit TMI for me -- I haven't looked the same at mushrooms since. Or at least not the morel ones.... Oh, Perseverance!


Product description:
It is 1758, and the flames of the Seven Years' War are burning hotter than ever. The rigors and dangers of battle are actually a welcome respite for Lord John and his brother Hal, who feel the constant strain of their family's troubled history. Blending war, family secrets, and forbidden love, Gabaldon crafts a suspenseful novel that loyal fans and newcomers alike with find irresistible.

His Lordship took a dip in the Audio VBB but didn't stay long! He's off for a summery sojourn at rannie's place.

Happy reading/listening!

Received in today's mail in good condition, and immediately out to the car for tomorrow's commute. :) Thanks for sharing this with me, Kyrissaean!

I enjoyed this, but it's more graphic than some may want
to hear broadcast from the CD player, so listener beware.

Sending on to Ace in the virtual audiobook box.

My father listened to this and thought it was very well written but not as good as The Outlander series
