    Um  Ok. 
    So, it gets better?  It doesn't?  The beginning is unbearably slow and I have  a stupid giant hardcover that makes it worse because my arms get tired when I read it.

    All Outlander books should be read in hardcover.  It is the next best thing to holding Jamie in your hands.

    Nope, it doesn't get better. The sub-group of obnoxious self-titled "Outlander Mafia" girls are wildly obsessed with these books because they're unbearably slow and boring and never get better.







    We won't even talk about the sub-group of People Who Hate The Question "Does It Get Better?"....

    I am reading Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. I'm about halfway through and enjoying it so far. @EliStar have you read this one? I know you were looking for book recs and I think you might like it.

    No I have not but now it's on my list! 
    I got about halfway through it and put it down for some reason. I forgot to pick it back up

  • Ok, well anyway, to be clear I loved Outlander.  However I am not loving Dragonfly in Amber because I am finding it slow to get into.  From what I've seen, I am not the only one with that opinion. 

    I'd love to be able to get more into it because honestly I want to see where else the story goes and how it progresses.  I see people saying how much they love other books in the series, and I want to get to that point of really being into the story.  But I'm not yet, because I'm having trouble getting into this book.

    But got it, keep any negative opinions to myself from now on.

    No no, not "any" negative opinions. Just those in relation to the Outlander series. ;-)

    Everyone on this board who is of the opinion that anything is wrong with any Outlander book ever has probably been on the receiving end of "the mafia's" attacks, so you're just part of the club now. No need to take it so seriously.

    I probably wouldn't on a typical day.  But life sucks balls right now.  So I'm overly emotional to begin with right now.
