I am a huge fan of series, but sometimes one gets to a series when it has been around for a while and finding out a series has over 15 books is absolutely daunting.
I rarely shy away froma challenge though

Wow! Was thinking of J.D. Robb's series but was trying to stick with ones that I would likely try reading at a point! But I chose Outlander series too!
I really hate getting into long series but sometimes there are so many rave reviews that it is hard to not pick up that series and at least give it a try. I did try the Outlander series and like yourself I was only able to make it halfway through the first one before giving up. Maybe one day I'll go back to it.
I predict you'll pick up 'Outlander' again when the TV series starts on Starz in October.
Just sayin'

Though there's a fair bit of action toward the end, it's done in a way that I'm still not entirely sold on. The introduction of Brave in the last episode certainly had its moments, but the whole superhero angle is something that I can't quite reconcile with the show as it's been presented up until this point. Thee's a nice mix of comedy and action to everything before Brave shows up, but after he gets into the picture it just feels juvenile, I guess. Not that the show hasn't had that feeling before with its censored buttons, but that's a different kind of humor. This episode felt a bit weak overall replica watches uk compared to the fun of the previous ones and Sai himself comes off kind of badly during large chunks of it, either for his replica rolex simplemindedness or the way he interacts with everyone. Most of what we get here is fairly forgettable, so hopefully the next episode will make it even more replica watches so.
