Subject: Honestly, I don't think that the GN stands alone all that well. It would be very hard to tell from which time period Claire came, for example. Other than "Jesus H. Roosevelt" and a couple images of Frank in WWII gear, there aren't any clues about that. I really think that this is an "insider's" story.

[> I agree with both of you. I think if I had read this book without knowing the story I'd be WTH? But maybe that's because we (we here, I mean) are used to full, well drawn out writing generally (DG and others) - maybe if you are more used to the style of a GN it would be ok? There is a lot of stuff missing but how much of it (Claire's healing, the boar hunt, Hamish' parentage) really matter to the core of the story? For us, those things are hugely important but maybe only because we already know them and we're used to having them. -- jayn, 05:09:03 09/23/10 Thu
