Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
5.0
Outlander is a great book. The writing, the characters and the plot are amazing. I loved how Diana connected Scotland's myths with the time travelling. I think it is such a powerful book. On the one hand, it is adorable because of Claire and Jamie's love story, which is beautiful by the way. On the other hand, it is incredibly raw and heartbreaking.
I love Jamie. He's so sweet, funny, understanding... I know we don't really get to know Frank, but Jamie is so much better than him. I think Claire loves Jamie the most and I hope she realizes that in the end of it all. I also like Claire, which is kind of surprising because I often get annoyed with female protagonists. She is not perfect, far from it, but she's got such a strong personality that it is difficult not to like her. Jenny and Ian are great as well. I guess Jamie, Claire and Jenny are my favorite characters. I also like Murtaugh and Mrs Fitz. And perhaps Geillies, but I don't quite understand her.
And then there's Frank. I just hate him so freaking much. He is probably the character I hate the most of all times, of all the books I read (there's plenty of them!). I don't think I can find words bad enough to describe the bastard. He is absolutely disgusting and a horrible person. I really hope he burns in hell.
Despite making me cry my eyes out and sometimes making me want to vomit, I can say I loved this book. There is some awful stuff in there, but in the end that's what makes the story so powerful. However, I'm not sure I want to read the others because I already know some of the things that are going to happen and I don't want it to ruin my life, so yeah. I'll have to think about it.
