Funnily enough, I really enjoy the Diana Gabaldon books. She seems to put a lot of effort into research, but it doesn't come across that way to a casual reader ("I spent 5 days researching glass in the 1720's, so you're going to learn all about it, dammit!"). It was my husband who introduced me to them
So, can you elaborate a bit more about what you don't like? Excessive description? Unrealistic dialogue? Characters acting out of - umm - character? Accidentally dropping one of her books causing 9 broken bones in a foot?
