I detested the Outlander books because of the historical inaccuracies - I finally threw them away after #3. The first one was REALLY irritating, there was so much wrong with it historically. The character's names were wrong for the period, the geography was all over the place, the descriptions of the culture were total mince, I could go on. But then you've probably guessed this is a period I know quite a lot about. ;) The only reason I kept reading at all was because I quite liked the characters, although Claire was all wrong for an English girl brought up in the 1920s and 30s - far too modern in outlook.
