I just finished "Beyond the Gap" by Henry Turtledove. SUCKED!
hated the dialog, the plot was shitty, and i hated it.
i could have liked it.....but i didn't. (if you've read turtledove, you'll know what that's about)
'Outlander' by
Diana Gabaldon was damn good. A bit of a chick book, but I'm in touch with my feminine side. Reading 'Dragonfly in Amber' (sequel) now. She's a good writer, and the narrator is good too.
