The Scottish Prisoner.

Wonderful performances. Especially liked the characterizations of Jamie and Grey. Since I usually skim read I was struck anew with appreciation of the story. I found that I had missed nuances that enhanced the storyline while reading but they were very clear while listening. I have never been a fan of being read to, but I have changed my mind and will be listening with pleasure to the rest of the Gabaldon opus.

Important part of the series

I love Jamie in the books read by Davina Porter. Jamie as spoken by this narrator is dull and uninspiring. I almost feel like he sounds dumb, which is sad because he’s so well rounded. The story is really enjoyable (overlooking the narration)!

Good history book

It was difficult for me to get inside of this story. The readers were very bad, one talks with a hot potato in his mouth the other with Irish accent. The story is good. The writer does not have the ability to get you inside the book from the first page, but after a little while the story floats.

Loved finding out what Jamie was up to

What made the experience of listening to The Scottish Prisoner the most enjoyable?

It was great to find out what Jamie was up to since Claire returned to her own time. It felt like an extension of the Outlander series, something to hold you over while waiting for the next book in that series.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I had trouble with the narrator who did Jamie's voice only because after hearing Davina Porter do all of the voices for the Outlander series, Jamie already had a voice in my mind.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I wanted to draw it out as long as possible - dying for the next book in the Outlander series.

Great read !!! Wonderful complement to Outlander series!

Love all the Lord John books!!! For those of us waiting for another Outlander book the Lord John series is perfect ~ Lord John is engaging as a character and his adventures add explanation to the story line of Outlander.

Jamie's narration?

why, if the voice of Jamie could do a Scottish accent (he does when he's speaking), doesn't he do it when he's thinking? I can't imagine Jamie Fraser thinking in a British accent.....
