An Echo in the Bone Diana Gabaldon 8601416186832 Books

First, I wanted to say that I for one enjoyed the tying in of all the various parts from all the books, including the Lord John series. Lord John is one of my favorite characters and I missed him. I highly recommend not only this book, and all of Diana Gabaldon's books and the compendium to any fan of well researched historical fiction. I've read the entire series 3 times now! Not many books can keep me through a 2nd read, let alone a third. I, like many, feel I know the characters so well at this point that I can "hear" their voices which made the reading all that more enjoyable.

**SPOILER ALERT**
Now, I read the book on my Kindle, I won't complain about the price as I look at it as if you saved me money. I have all the others in hardcover and two paperbacks to replace "borrowed" and unreturned hardcovers.

That being said, toward the end I thought I was missing "pages". From the moment that Lord John walks into the print shop and tells Claire about Jamie's suspected fate the book lost it's heretofore cohesion. The book went from a very organized back and forth across the colonies and the ocean, to suddenly being fragmented and out of context. I actually paged back a few times to make sure I didn't accidentally skip a chapter somehow. I was so looking forward to Jamie's reaction to what Lord John and Claire did. I was sure he'd either hit John, laugh, or most likely break his nose, then take him back to Claire for patching up while they laughed over liberal amounts of whiskey. However, John's method of telling Jamie was quite amusing.

I suspect that the reason for this disjointed ending was that the book was a victim of some extremely overzealous editing. The last book A Breath of Snow and Ashes was over 1100 pages, this not quite 900. Is there some reason this one wasn't worthy of another 200 pages? I suspect that it's also the reason for the half dozen cliff hangers. At least we can all rest assured that this is not the end of the story. Because I don't think Diana would be so cruel as to leave Jem alone in the tunnel forever. I think the whole Jem/Rob Cameron part could have been saved for another book. Alternatively, let us believe that Jem is safely in the 18th century and that Roger is heading toward him.

Okay, that's my two cents worth. However, in the very remote chance that Ms Gabaldon is reading this. Thank you for a series that has touched my heart and been the cause of many a late night of reading. I'm off to the local Scottish Pub for a celebratory meal and a cider.

An Echo in the Bone Diana Gabaldon 8601416186832 Books Reviews

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.
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.
