Doing a bit of research. Amazing reading the reviews of Diana Gabaldon's work.
Incredible reviews from women, terrible reviews from men. And a whole lot of them. It seems every woman who reads this is in love with Jaime.
This review, and many others caught my attention
Quote: If you did not cry at least once while reading this book you should consider visiting a doctor. You might be dead. This book contains the exact right amount of historical info, love, passion, fear, excitement, humour and everything else which one could ever want from an epic novel. Everyone here goes on about the "inappropriate" violence in the novel, but come on! Everything can't be written to suit 12 year-olds! And imagine reading 300 pages of non-stop cuddling and romance. Would that be any better? I can recommend this novel to anyone in the world who still believes that true love survives everything.
So knowing my wife I know these things about her that fit into liking this
Warriors- Hey look at what we do for a living. Mysticism- In my position people sometimes like to believe I have some kind of magical powers. wierd I know but some of the things a good martial artist can do seem magical although they are rooted in very real but not obvious technique. Way back when my wife liked to ascribe these things to me. There mystery
Passion- Well I'm definetely passionate. Just trying to learn to apply it to the right places.
Sounds like it's not all cuddly wuddly and stuff. More of an aggressive romp in the hay. Long ago my wife was very sexually aggressive.
