googie_1957 's review for:
Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone
by Diana Gabaldon
A few rules for the reader of "Bees." Don't rush the reading. If you do, you might miss too much. Another thing -- it has been 7 years since the previous book in the series, reading No. 8 again before diving in is a must. And please don't compare the books to the TV series on Starz. I believe the cable series, while a good effort and a delight, jumped the shark some time back with the plot changes.
In "Bees" Claire and Jamie are living life in 18th century North Carolina, happy to have Bree and Roger and their kids back -- but also very worried because of the war. I very much enjoyed the daily struggles at Fraser's Ridge, the 20th century 'touches' that DG has thrown in (Dr. Seuss anyone?)
The author goes back and forth from families (Roger & Bree, Ian and Rachel, Lord John and brother Hal), and the cities and settings- Savannah and Philadelphia, Charles Town.
What I really enjoyed are the reappearances of old friends and enemies (sometimes they are one in the same) and some of the clever plot twists. (Didn't see that coming, did you? ) They were delightful surprises. Are better books in the series? Some people might argue that point. There are things within the pages of "Bees" that I don't fully understand - and I can't wait to talk it over with other Outlander fans.
