Forget the hype, you truly don’t get the book.

I have enjoyed the books but, unpopular opinion, I don’t like Claire. She’s so self righteous and, since it’s told from her perspective, she’s got the highest opinion of herself. Pbbbbbt. Shockingly, that hasn’t stopped me from reading the books - even though she’s nearly gotten Jamie killed more times than I can recall.
I watch the series, also, off and on. Still don’t really like Claire, but Catriona Balfe plays the role wonderfully. Sam Heughan looks absolutely nothing like I’ve been picturing Jamie, for the 30 years since I first read Outlander - so that was a disappointment. And, frankly, I think he plays Jamie like a petulant child seeking Claire’s approval, which is off putting. But, Lawd, Dougal was nice to look at. lol
What a strange thing to think a reader would embrace such a narrow concept.
