Cross Stitch  - Diana Gabaldon Why I didn't like the book:

- Half the time I felt the author really wanted me to know how much she had worked on the historical background. I got it, I really did, but I have little interest on the inner workings of the life in a castle or hunting problems. It felt like reading Moby Dick again.
- I didn't like the main character and how she faced her situation.
- I didn't like the oh-what-a-coincidence details (omg the chapel).

I did like Jamie but not enough overcome the writing style.
