Query: disappointing

Apparently I'm in the minority, but I was really disappointed in this book. With such a promising story line, a great heroine, and such a clever setup, it should have been outstanding. But I got tired of the brutality. Does Diana Gabaldon have some fixation on physical and sexual violence? Or is this standard fare for romances? (not my genre) Seemed like Jamie was being hideously injured about every 5 pages, and the bit with the sadistic gay ancestor Jack Randall was, in my opinion, overdone to the point of absurdity. And did she ever explain the kilted ghost who stared sadly at her in 1945 or did I miss that when i was skimming it to be done with it in the end? Beat ME up instead of Jamie if I ever try to read a Gabaldon book again.
