I'm about 3/4 the way through with it. I plan on starting the tv show soon. I can't really see how there can be so many books unless the story moves from Jamie/Claire onto someone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196334 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:49:45 +0000 .twist. 2196334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ETA: Possible **SPOILERS** sorry~</p> <p>@avivoca: I have about 13% left in the second book and I just don't know if I can go onto the 3rd!? I'm upset they have a daughter. I like my romances childless, apparently. I even get that it's not a traditional "romance"... I can't help it! haha </p> <p>Wall me with any spoiler surprises you think might incline me to keep going! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196332 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:48:44 +0000 nana87 2196332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I never think this, but the show is so much better than the books! I finished the first book and started the second but couldn't get into it, Claire was really getting on my nerves :silly: But I love the show! Esp bc with the show, they can show other characters' perspectives-- particularly in the second part of this season, showing Jamie's side of the political intrigue with Dougal and Collum was really interesting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196329 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:46:26 +0000 raspberries 2196329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhh, I love these books, although they admittedly slow down after the first four or so. I still have three episodes left on the Starz show, but I'm afraid to watch them because I know what's coming from the books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196327 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:45:59 +0000 avivoca 2196327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: If you can, push through it! I like the third book much better. I'm not going to tell you why because it might spoil it for you, but trust me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196323 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:43:21 +0000 Adira 2196323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't watched the season finale yet, but I'm watching the show! I also really enjoyed the first book, but just couldn't get into the second one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196321 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:43:15 +0000 .twist. 2196321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: aw. Look how obsessed I was. haha I am feeling so much different about the whole series right now and that makes me so sad. <i>sigh</i> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196305 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:37:09 +0000 BSB 2196305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've commented on this thread about the books and the tv series. </p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-tv-or-book" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-tv-or-book</a></p> <p>My sister got me to watch the TV series and got me hooked. I then started reading the books. The first book was good but the second book was difficult for me to read because there was a lot of history. I wanted to read more romantic drama and more about Jamie and Claire. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196297 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:32:29 +0000 .twist. 2196297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have read the first book and watched the first season! Loved them both. </p> <p>Am reading the second book now and... I dunno. I am not having trouble finishing it, but I definitely don't have the same page turning obsession as I did with the first novel. Maybe because the mystery of who this historical highlander is, or their romance isn't new any more, or SOMETHING, isn't the same? Whatever the case, I just am not as in love with the second book, or the characters, as much as I was with the first novel. </p> <p>I am excited to watch the second series though and hope they continue the series past the first book because I think I'd be totally into watching the series continue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196289 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:26:21 +0000 tinyperson 2196289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've tried reading the books a couple of times now, and get about a third of the way through and realize I'm flipping pages and skimming. I think I've given up - the premise sounds like something I'd really like, but I guess something about her writing doesn't jibe with me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196285 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:25:42 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2196285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read the first 4 books and seen most of the series. I am behind a few episodes, but will catch up next week when DH is traveling. I really like both the books and the show. And Jamie is HOT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196274 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:22:16 +0000 lovehoneybee 2196274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The books are great and the show is EXCELLENT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196272 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:21:13 +0000 avivoca 2196272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the whole series of books! I'm currently re-reading the series in preparation to read the latest book (I'm on A Breath of Snow and Ashes right now). I love them! I've never seen the series, but I hear that it is excellent. I hope you enjoy it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196267 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:20:07 +0000 Mrs. Milk 2196267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh I just started reading this! In the middle of book one now - my MIL gave it to me and she devoured all eight (?) books already. I'm excited to watch the series too, once I finish this first one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-read-outlander-or-is-watching-the-series#post-2196265 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:18:51 +0000 bunnylove08 2196265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my coworkers and I are starting Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I know its a series on Stars and I'm excited to start the book. Hopefully will start watching the series. </p> <p>Is/has anyone read or is watching the series? </p>
