A Delicious Book! [but dual narriation bothersome]

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I just LOVE this book! It is my favorite Lord John story yet and he is one of my most loved Outlander characters, plus there is lots of Jaime as well. It's one of those rare treasures that bears re

Up to Ms gabeldons standards

If you could sum up The Scottish Prisoner in three words, what would they be?

Enjoyed the book, but was put off by the Jamies terrible Scottish accent which sounded more Irish

On second reading, the story is outstanding!

Several years ago I read the story and did not find it of much value. Now that time has passed and after many readings of the other books in this series, I have come to a much greater understanding of the interwoven intricacies of the characters. The only shortcoming I found is that it is not narrated by Divina Porter. The voice of Jamie in the narration sounds to me more Irish then Highland, but this may be because I am so used to Divina Porter's voice of Jamie. I loved Lord John in this story and the way in which his friendship returns and deepens with Jamie.
An excellent story, even if you do have to remind yourself that Jamie is JAMMF!

Interesting in between the big books story

I love these small stories of the characters of Outlander World. It is just getting more and more interesting to me. The voice actors capture the characters accurately in my opinion.

loved it

loved the narration and the story... It filled in some of the gaps of Jamie's story.

The Best of the Lord John Series

I had been plugging along through the Outlander series and enjoying them. When I got to book 7 it features Lord John at the beginning and makes reference to events that occur to him during the brotherhood of the blade. It bothered me that I did not understand the reference, so I took time to listen to the entire Lord John series before continuing. I found that I did not enjoy the Lord John books as much as the Outlander. But the Scottish Prisoner was the best of the series, and provided the most enjoyment. Now I'm back to Outlander.

Scottish prisoner and friend

Where does The Scottish Prisoner rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

On par with the other books by Diana Gabaldon and narrated by Jeff Woodman.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I don't think I had a favorite character. They were all awesome and well written.

What about Jeff Woodman and Rick Holmes ’s performance did you like?

They sounded like they really believed in what they were reading.

Some missing links

The relationship between Lord John Grey and Jamie Frasier is filled in and their codes of honor examined in this Jacobite tale of intrigue.

Amazing!!

Another hit by Diana Gabaldon. I LOVED this book, and it was so nice to fill the gap while waiting for her next book!

The Scottish Prisoner

I Loved it as it fills in more information on the Outlander series and Lord John's life.
