Dragonfly in Amber

I reluctantly began reading The Outlander series because so many friends and acquaintances had. It seemed I was missing out on something big. I first read The Outlander and thought it was just a romance novel on steroids, due to its massive length. However, I was left with a nagging need to find out what happened to Jamie and Claire.

Fans of the series enjoy the fantasy and time-travel aspects of this series.  And, I have to admit, the thought of being able to travel back in time and witness history as it happens is a tantalizing concept.   I'm just not sure it's enough for me to continue through another 7,000 or so pages of Jamie, Claire and throbbing organs of passion. 

I struggled through Dragonfly in Amber and many of my questions are still unanswered. Friends assure me that the series gets better. I'm not sure I have the necessary dedication to read any further.  And besides, the sexual romps of Jamie and Claire aren't that titillating.
