Delta, 2002
The series is pure poetry!
+ Do not skip this book + An Epic Story of Long Lasting Romance
I don't know how anyone can give these books below three or even four stars. Every single one is absolutly enchanting and without a doubt some of the best novels written by anyone in years. I'm nearly done with the fifth installment and can't wait to move onto the next. Although I must admit that ...

Outlander 1355 reviews Diana Gabaldon
Delta, 1998
Surprised to love it
+ Outlander Book Review + Just the beginning of the adventure....
I came late to the party on this one. I had to overcome my own stupid prejudices, my lack of desire to read an 850 page paperback, and the book being packed in a box in the garage for three years. But wow...it was worth the wait.
This never happens: I read the entire 850 pages cover to cover ...

The Pillars of the Earth 1278 reviews Ken Follett
Signet, 1990
Great story
+ Enticing novel indeed
I'm only part way into reading this book - but it's one of those that I can't put down. Not only is it well written, but it is also a fascinating study of the period and a well developed cast of characters. I'm thoroughly enjoying Pillars of the Earth.

Pope Joan: A Novel 283 reviews Donna Cross
Ballantine Books, 1996
Excellent Historical Fiction
+ WOW!
When this novel was released, there was some minor brouhaha about how it's "untrue", "there was never a female pope", "the author is taking liberties", etc. The kind of controversy that sprang up when "The Da Vinci Code" was released, though nowhere near that level. All of which drew me to the ...
