My girlfriends have been talking about this for years and I finally decided to take the plunge. I first got to know Gabaldon when I worked in a bookstore as a teenager and they never knew where to put her books, so they usually ended up in the romance section, even though I wouldn't put them in that category either. So I think I had judged the storyline before even reading it. But I swept through the book, and it's not a short book, and she has like 5 or 6 more books that I will likely pick up over time. But it's a smart and compelling story, and the time travel aspects are totally awesome. Some of the attraction definitely is the love story between the main characters, but that is done just as well and with a lot of depth, but full of tension and sexuality. That said however, if scenes with sex in them bother you, don't pick this up. It surpassed my expectations though and I gave it 4 stars.
