@Shelly I find season 1 to be very close to the book, then season 2 u will see more differences, u know how on book 2 she Claire meets Johnathan Randall at Sandringhams House? Well that’s not how she meets him in the series, and you will see many other re-writings
And he hates Claire, so I’m always telling him the reason is because he doesn’t understand her enough and that it’s because there’s more to her in the books.
Yes! I read the first three super fast but I’ve kind of been slow to finish the fourth. Those books are not exactly short so I think I just needed a break ? anybody else? I’m 30% through, tell me it gets better?!
They are huge! I flew through the first 4, but had to take a break after starting book 5 due to burn out and other books. 5 is slow to start with, but I’ve been told that once you get past a certain point it speeds up.
I took my time. I savored them. I always read more than one book at a time though. I also enjoyed listening to Davina Porter read the books, on Audible. Sometimes, I would read along. I have read all of both stores and have all of Outlander in eBook and Audible formats.
I didn’t think I would love them as much as I did. I have eBook and Audible copies of all of Outlander now. Davina Porter’s voice is divine. I hope you’ll read them.
I read most of them….stopped after they moved to America during the American Revolution….Need to start them again….since I started watching the tv series
I just finished the second
Read book 1 and I’m reading book 2, and book 3 in sitting on the shelf right now and I’m addicted and in love and I call dibs on James Fraser
I love it but parts of book 2 made me a little sad.
And i had a wtf moment towards be end.
@Shelly yeah, I’m about 300 pages in but I’ve watched season 2 so I know what u referring to
My boyfriend just bought me seasons 1-3 on dvd. I have only watched season 1 so far. I assume they did it similar?
@Shelly I find season 1 to be very close to the book, then season 2 u will see more differences, u know how on book 2 she Claire meets Johnathan Randall at Sandringhams House? Well that’s not how she meets him in the series, and you will see many other re-writings
I know its hard for them to get everything exactly to the book seeing as how the books are so big. I hope they don’t take too many liberties.
@Shelly I think the changes they are making don’t exactly change the essence of the story
Love love love the outlander series, working on book three now
I finished book 2 last night. I was so sad to know that they spent 20 years apart her not knowing he was alive.
Also i had a hard time with the fact that he showed any compassion to Jack Randall when Alex died.
I’m waiting for book 9. I love all the books in the series. I’m currently reading the side series that centers around one Lord John Gray.
Is it just as good?
Yes I’ve been wonder about that, how do you like them?
I like them, but not as well as I liked the main series.
I didn’t expect to like them as much but many are very good. They are all good. The Outlander series is perfection, though.
I read the first one. I just picked up a few more at the library book sale.
I’m about 200 pages into book 3
I am reading in a kindle copy or books 1-7. I think I am about 10% in.
I read the first 4 many years ago. Have to finish the series
I have a friend who doesn’t want to read past book 1 because she is afraid it will ruin her opinion of the characters.
I have a friend that doesn’t want to read the books now that he’s seen the show
Ugg I hate that lol. Books are always better.
And he hates Claire, so I’m always telling him the reason is because he doesn’t understand her enough and that it’s because there’s more to her in the books.
@Shelly, the characters remain pretty consistent, in my opinion.
Yes! I read the first three super fast but I’ve kind of been slow to finish the fourth. Those books are not exactly short so I think I just needed a break ? anybody else? I’m 30% through, tell me it gets better?!
I completely understand. They are huge!

Favourite series to date. Impatiently waiting for the next book.
My favorite series is Black Dagger Brotherhood. I am sure this may come in close when i finish.
@Shelly sorry about the spelling…Canadian. I will have to try your series. Ty
My favorite stores, as well. Other favorites are: Flavia de Luce series by Alan Bradley, Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde.
Read them about 5 times….love, love, love them
I need to hop on board.. cause I want to read them
I didn’t think I would love them as much as I did. I have eBook and Audible copies of all of Outlander now. Davina Porter’s voice is divine. I hope you’ll read them.
I did read the book 1. As for the book 2, I drop it after 5 or 6 chapters.
Read 1 and 2 so far and watched the show. Love them both!
I only watch the show for the history
Who here thinks the 50 shades movies wouldn’t stink so much if Sam was Christian Grey? ??
????
Let’s not do that to Jamie, please.
I am in book 3. I like the first one and struggled with the 2nd. So far I am enjoying number 3.
I’ve read 6 so far. Love them. Even though their lengthy, and take awhile to read.
I read most of them….stopped after they moved to America during the American Revolution….Need to start them again….since I started watching the tv series
I’m on book 5. I had to take break from it to read others for my blog after flying through the first 4.
??♀️??♀️. Just finished book 2 & will be starting book 3 soon!!!!❤️❤️❤️
I found Book 1 tedious by the second half of the book. I decided to just stick with the show…which I love.
Jamie should be with me. Claire was the worst thing to ever happen to him…. ???
Sorry but Jamie is spoken for already ??
Does each season of the show go with one of the books?
Pretty much. The show is amazing!!!
So if I want to read then watch I should read first book then watch season 1 then read book 2 and so on… I know they are long books!
@Kellie yes. ??
