Discuss: First Thoughts

A week into February, how are you all feeling about Outlander? Liking it? Not liking it? Cautiously optimistic?

I will admit that I wasn't looking forward to reading it (please don't judge). But I'm a couple chapters in and I don't hate it. I like Claire and I'm very interested to see what will happen next. Especially since I'm wondering how Gabaldon makes this plot go through 8 books (so far).

Don't give up. All the characters are going to evolve. I didn't understand what all the hype was about; then I watched the series on Starz. I'm so obsessed. I've read the first 4 books and most of the novellas. I started reading book 5, but I think I'm going to go back and read 1-4 again before I read the remaining. The books are so much better than the television series.

We'll see if I read the rest, but I'll definitely finish the first one. And aren't the books really always better? :)

I have tried reading this book twice and then a third time has a book on CD and for some reason it is not my favorite and I never finish. It makes no sense because I love to read, I’ve read other books on time travel and everyone else loves this book.
