Who, in the midst of a love affair is anxious for it to end? That's the journey this author offers. While 38 hours for the unabridged version might seem daunting, it's a delightful sojurn. Admittedly, the abridged version gives the highlights, however, it can't give sufficient background info or do full justice to Gibaldon's outstanding storytelling ability. As such, I've had the opportunity to listen to both. Alas, the very next month, the unabridged version came out.

Finally, after months of waiting and an e-mail or two to Audible Customer Service, I bought the abridged version. Im very happy that I have something like 5 big books left to go in this series, yet I already feel some separation anxiety of loosing these characters, thats testament to the fine writing Dianna Gabaldon has produced.įor months I put off buying the abridged version of this audiobook in hopes of buying the unabridged version. So far I've listened to her for about 70 hrs and I feel I could go on listening to her indefinatly ! Perfectly nuanced, perfectly timed, wonderfully relaxing, and sumptuously toned, thats how I would describe her narration. but Davina Porter pulls it off quite well. I prefer male narration because female narrators rarely narrate the male parts well enough. The author is a very good writer and the narration is freakishly perfect.

I got the second book because I became very attached to the characters and it also was rated 5 stars. I was drawn to the first book because it dealt with time travel and was rated 5 stars. I said it was chick lit, which it is, too some degree, but to pass this series by because of a few sex scenes from the ladies point of view is foolish in balance with the really great story that you would miss. I wish I could take back the review I did on book 1 of this series.
