Search - Lord John and the Private Matter

This book is enjoyable however it is not as wonderful as Ms. Gabaldon's Outlander series from which she takes the title character Lord John. Do not expect to encounter any of the characters from her other books - this is a story which gives one insight into Lord John.

I love Lord John and this glimpse into his life fleshes him out so much more for the Outlander tales as well...the only regret about novels regarding him is that they take away time that could be used writing about Jamie and Claire. THIS IS NOT TIME TRAVEL like the Outlander series; rather it is an opportunity to see the scope of Gabaldon's scholarship as her research into the back warrens of underground London are fascinating!

Not nearly as engrossing as the Outlander series. And if you haven't already read at least through The Drums of Autumn, you may not be familiar enough with LJG to enjoy this.

It was good to learn more about Lord John's life as he was a main character in Jamie's life in the Outlander series.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Outlander series. this was a nice book, but nothing in comparison. i liked John Grey in the Outlander books and thought I'd give this one a whirl. Nice, easy read

Another winner from Diana Gabaldon. Amazing how she can develop a somewhat minor character. I look forward to reading the next one in the series - I'm hooked!
