Outlander

Hmmm... Have to admit, sometimes wanted to put this one down, but then something interesting would happen and I would keep reading. Ok, so a nurse after WWII is transported back to the 18th century Scotland. Other than that the scifi is non-existent. Shortly after she is thrown backwards in time she meets a highlander. Claire deals with her newfound relationship and tries to reconcile it with the fact that when she jumped back in time, she lef behind her husband. Oh, and there is an eviiiilll readcoat thrown into the mix.

My attention span went like this: historical fact. interesting. romance/sex. still good. angsting over lost husband. losing interest. pages and pages of Claire gardening/healing which serve no purpose. lost interest. something that endangers main characters happens. must keep reading. historical facts. sex. and repeat.

Overall, an enjoyable if mostly meandering read.
