There is no Frigate like a Book To take us Lands away, Nor any Coursers like a Page Of prancing Poetry – This Traverse may the poorest take Without oppress of Toll – How frugal is the Chariot That bears a Human soul.

Outlander
By Diana Gabaldon
Rated: Could Not Finish
The is the first book on my Great 2007 Reread Adventure that I found to be a huge disappointment when I tried to read it again. I seem to have moved way on since the time I found these books to be so good. I will admit that my frustration with this book is colored by my frustration with the series as a whole.
I think that I am just worn out with the story. Apparently it is not going to have an end in my life time and while that the main characters, have gotten older they haven't matured much. They are still crashing around like a couple of oversexed 20 year olds from misadventure to misadventure.
After six or seven books (how many has it been?) I am weary of the whole business. It's a real shame that I feel this way because I was really looking forward to a nice leisurely reread of these books.

Hmmm ... I thoroughly enjoyed this when I first read it God only knows how many years ago! I wonder if I would feel the same way as you do if I re-read it now.
