What do readers think of Outlander by Diana Gabaldon? Write your own review.

I tried very hard to read this book, really really hard. I got lost in the rhetoric and a cast akin to reading war and peace. The story is formulaic and wordy, perhaps classic readers of the genre would find it interesting after they read through the nonsense. I had hoped the theme would revolve more around history than it did. I could not gain interest in the characters enough to care what happened to them
