Poorly rendered Scottish accents

[brigid31]

I revise earlier opinion on Outlander. It's kind of aggressively not good. I don't believe anything about the whole book. And despite me being told over and over how awesome the heroine is (by herself mind you since the book is in first person) I can't stand her. She has a serious case of Too Stupid Too Live if I ever saw one. (If you are so convinced it's all some weird role playing game why don't you just wait for a little while until people let you go. If it is a game nothing bad is going to happen to you. Don't keep running away with no idea of where you are going!) Also the Scottish accents are irritating. Don't try to write in dialect, let me figure it out on my own. I'm almost 100 pages in (long past the time when I should be engaged) and I could care less about what is going on. Putting this one down for now.
