Outlander

This is skilfully written and full of cliffhangers. But it is also an annoying book, filled with melodrama and endless protracted sex scenes that are all boringly magical and transporting - and there is some sadism that gets described way too fully.

The first chapters about her genealogist-husband Frank were very witty. Very relatable ;-) None of the rest really comes near, in retrospect.

So I was hooked. I could not put it down, (ie stop listening to the audiobook) but I did not like myself better for it. If I hear Sassenach one more time, I will scream.
