Outlander A few months ago, a friend of mine recommended me a book named "Outlander". It's the first part of a book serie composed by 7 different books. The story takes place in Scotland, in the XVIII century, and the main character is Claire, a english nurse who is taken to past by some misterious reason. She's having her honeymoon with her husband, Frank, in Scotland when she appears in the middle of the old Scotland. Firstly, she is scared and doesn't trush in anyone, but she will meet another main character who will become a very important person for her, Jamie. I can't continue with the plot because I don't want to spoiling anyone. I liked this book, it's a love story but it's not only about love, it talks about the history of Scotland and makes you feel curious about the pass of the country. Recently, I watched the TV serie based on the book. From my point of view, is a very good adaptation because the plot it's quite similar to the book. In adittion, Claire and Jaime are represented by people who look quite similar to the book's description. If you have doubts between reading the book or watching the TV serie, I always recommend to reading the book, because it has some details that the TV serie doesn't have. If you read the book before, you'll get to know Claire and Jaime better and you will understand much better the serie.
