This book was amazing. I read it fairly quickly. It held my interest and I had a lot of nights that I didn't get much sleep-wanting to finish it. There is not a dull moment in this book. Diana Gabaldon has done an amazing job of making Jamie and Claire-so real. (  )Coondogs5 | Jun 16, 2009 | AMAZING! I had the Outlander series recommended to me by a friend years ago and kick myself repeatedly for not reading them sooner. I adored Outlander.. I LOVED Dragonfly in Amber! Gabaldon has such a way with words and her descriptions and details for history draw one in to Claire and Jamie's world(s) intensely. I do not recall ever reading books that have made me laugh so much or (I admit) cry so much. Her characters are so alive and one can not help but come to love Claire, Jamie as well as many other characters. Keep the tissues handy for this one. Chances are, you will need them!!! ( )Braiella | May 11, 2009 | Though really late to the Outlander series, I too got sucked in. Gabaldon clearly went from historical romance in Outlander to true historical fiction in Dragonfly. I'm glad I stuck it out -- the sex in Outlander DID become a bit much, and clouded a fascinating story. That didn't happen in Dragonfly and the characters of Claire and Jamie certainly didn't suffer. Gabaldon has repeatedly surprised me with twists and turns. As one reviewer said -- she's "devious and brilliant", an assessment that, IMHO, is spot on! Needless to say I've already ordered Voyager... (  )ddelmoni | Apr 16, 2009 | A fascinating sequel to "Outlander", "Dragonfly in Amber" recalls all the heartache, lustiness, courage, mystery and adventure of its predecessor. The novel follows Claire and Jamie through their futile attempts to prevent war and bloodshed, leading them from Lallybroch to the Rue de Tremoulins and back to Culloden field. Jamie is still the pillar of what most every woman wants in a man, and Claire still refuses to back down. With even more delectable twists, turns and shockers than "Outlander", this book will only mire you farther and farther into the desperate need to know the whole story.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385335970, Paperback)With her now-classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon introduced two unforgettable characters — Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser—delighting readers with a story of adventure and love that spanned two centuries. Now Gabaldon returns to that extraordinary time and place in this vivid, powerful follow-up to Outlander....For twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland’s majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones ... about a love that transcends the boundaries of time ... and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his.... Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful copper-haired daughter, Brianna, as Claire’s spellbinding journey of self-discovery continues in the intrigue-ridden Paris court of Charles Stuart ... in a race to thwart a doomed Highlands uprising ... and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves....
