    I bought this book for myself and then I bought one for my husband the following week.

    Diana Babaldon is an extremely talented author who takes you deep into the lives of her characters. The book keeps you engaged from beginning to end. The physical book itself is of good quality and the price is good.

  • Top critical review

    A little more worn than expected. Great price though.

    I would need to read what "Good" means. The front cover was ripped and it is well used. I've bought other books in this category that are in better shape. Otherwise it was a great price so I probably shouldn't complain.

  • Outlander Review

    I had purchased series 2-7 of this book set, so only needed the first book. It came very quickly in the mail and I could not wait to start it, so I could continue with the other books. I'm only halfway through the 2nd book in the series, but I am still extremely interested and compelled to read all the books in this series. A great author who puts great attention to detail and authenticity for the time period. I'm really enjoying this series of books (and loved the series on television)!

  • Love the Outlander series!

    The books have more detail than the tv series! I love the tv show but am anxious for any extra information from the books. Have started reading volume 1 already. Thanks for offering a great package deal!

  • 2nd Favorite series

    I love the series on Starz. The books are so good its hard to put down! Series is close to the books so far but some scenes are a combination of 2 or more than in the Book. Great read!

  • My favorite book series ever!!

    My favorite books at a marvelous price! They arrived in pristine condition all ready for me to enjoy. I had previously listened to all eight books on Audible - something I did three times over a two year span. Listening is great when you have other chores to do but nothing beats losing yourself in a great book . These are truly wonderful books that have prompted my interest in my own heritage, taught me some interesting history and have deepened my relationship with my own "Jamie". The only draw back is that I had to buy the 8th book separately. No, the greatest drawback is that there really should be a 9th book...so many interesting ideas left suspended!!!

  • Wife loves it

    I purchased this book series for my wife who has enjoyed the television series. While you expect the book to be much more in-depth than the television series/movie, this author has done so artfully.
