166/365
I have never been so excited to see a TV series adaptation of a book series in my life!
I first tried to read "Outlander" when I was about 16. I made it through the first three chapters and put it down...(stupid stupid me...) It took me another 2 years to give it another shot...and I am so grateful I did, as I was hooked!
As I have mentioned before, I am an avid reader and will read almost anything. This series, hands-down, is my most favorite that I have ever read.
And I have to say: a lot of the props of this go to Diana Gabaldon and her amazing characters.
...And by her amazing characters? Obviously I mean Jamie.
I have never read about a more amazingly sexy, powerful, breathtakingly wonderful, every-woman-wants-him, heartthrob, romantic, NEVER LOVED A CHARACTER MORE!!!...than Jamie Fraser, one of the main characters of the series.
Never.
Out of all the books I have read.
My favorite!
People often ask me if I re-read books...ALL THE TIME! But especially if its a good book. With Outlander, every time Diana puts out a new novel, I re-read the series.
I have been reading the Diana Gabaldons' blog for a while and as soon as I heard that her amazing books were being picked up for a TV series, myself, along with millions of other die-hard fans, let out a mighty WOOOHOOOO! in unbelievable anticipation!
So yes....a weee bit excited for the series to make its TV debut in August...I may be even planning a party ;)
My expectations?
The series is so freeken good, and the competition that it has (ahem...Game of Thrones?)...I think that it will be great. And from what I have heard of the director, its set up to do fantastically.
Will it be as good as the books? Probably not, but most adaptations of books rarely are. But again, with the story that Diana Gabaldon has already given us, I have a hunch it will start to bring to reality an amazing series that I have absolutely fallen in love with!
I will keep ya posted though ;)
Cheers!
